Creativity, Migration and Multiculturalism: A Psychodrama Perspective

This article deals with the often-neglected aspects of group work: Creativity and Multiculturalism. In a world where migration is ubiquitous, much research focuses on economic, social, and political ramifications of this phenomenon. Considerably less attention is given to the cultural effects of migration on the immigrants, their host communities, and countries. As group therapists, we view groups as microcosms of society at large, and the working assumption is that the group diversity contributes to its members’ creativity. Central to the development of psychodrama is the emphasis on creativity, not just for its aesthetic values but also as a vital force in human life and mental health. Since the history of psychodrama is intrinsically linked to its founder, J. L. Moreno, I will trace the evolution of ideas about creativity to his own biography. The relevant milestones of Moreno’s life will be noted and discussed, starting with his ancestral history.
