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.
