There is a curious analogy between the system Moreno invented and the structure of passionate love. On the one hand, contemporary anecdotes about the birth of psychodrama describe its inventor in a kind of amorous, mystical ecstasy. On the other, there is the structure of the human group where everyone lowers his/her guard to be able to take part in play and experience childhood again, an empty or “dead time,” though intensely alive with psychic history. It is this artifact which makes the instinctual life and the trauma present, thus allowing a period of transmission. That within us which neither withers nor disappears, which is both unalterable and unfailing, in a word, the child which never fades away, proves to be present behind the absence. The passage of an individual through a collective, from “I” to “we,” is the first moment in the history of personal positions.
