Overview

This movie takes place in a mental hospital in California; it was produced in the 1960’s when Moreno was touring the state. Originally made by Moreno and a group of patients, the production was entirely unrehearsed, and was broadcast via closed circuit television to several thousands of patients in the various wards of the hospital! The problem addressed was: “Are these patients ready for discharge?” Moreno used different approaches, especially the future projection technique, to explore this issue. It has the character of a “psychodramatic exit test,” sprinkled with astute observations by Dr. Moreno. Zerka Moreno, his wife and collaborator, joins this production playing different auxiliary roles.
