Jacob Levy Moreno, the founder of psychodrama (1889-1974) formulated issues concerning theories and practices aimed at the prevention and mitigation of direct and structural violence already in 1934, in his famous book, Who Shall Survive? Born in Romania, he was an Austrian-American psychiatrist, psychosociologist and educator, who conceptualized an interpersonal psychological theory and the concept of the “Genuine Encounter” which was in fact the theoretical basis for group therapy.
