Congratulations to Zerka on the publication of 'To Dream Again: A Memoir

In the newly named 'Zerka Moreno Library' at PIM - in honour of our psychodramatic patron is her latest book 'To Dream Again'.  It will be available for trainees to borrow from the 15th of May.  This book makes 41 Psychodrama books in our library and six of them are by Zerka: To Dream Again: A Memoir, The Quintessential Zerka, Psychodrama, Surplus Reality and the Art of Healing, Love Songs to Life, Psychodrama Vol. 2 and Psychodrama Vol. 3 both in collaboration with J. L. Moreno.

The Zerka Moreno Library

The library has 90 papers written by trainees, practitioners and trainers.

Last year , a raffle was held on PIM's tenth birthday and a sum of money was collected to buy a birthday present.  We bought a lunch table awhile ago and recently a post box red three drawer filing cabinet arrived for all those articles and papers by our psychodrama colleagues near and far.
