The present volume describes the roots of sociometry, specifically Moreno's time in Austria. Scherr skillfully engages with the historical context. Numerous illustrations vividly depict this early phase of Moreno's work. Blattert, in his contribution, discusses Moreno's prophetic stance. He examines the concept of the prophet and evaluates whether Moreno can be seen as fitting this image based on his statements. He addresses this question with great detail and knowledge. Both contributions fill a gap in the psychodramatic literature.
