Developing his ideas in the first half of this century, �Moreno, the originator of psychodrama, said, �Mankind is a social and organic unity� . He termed his area of interest "sociatry" and saw its aim as the healing of normal society. �Sociatry treats the pathological syndromes of normal society, of interrelated individuals and of interrelated groups. It is based upon two hypotheses: 1) The whole of human society develops in accord with definite laws; 2) A truly therapeutic procedure cannot have less an objective than the whole of mankind.� (Moreno 1953).
