groups Beacon Historical Society

From 1935 until 1982, Beacon was home to an innovative mental hospital and psychotherapy training center founded and run by Dr. J. L. Moreno, a Romanian-American psychiatrist, psycho-sociologist and educator who is considered the founder of psychodrama and the foremost pioneer of group psychotherapy. The Moreno Institute and its 259 Wolcott Avenue location are famous in the group psychotherapy world and have spawned many centers carrying on his psychodrama therapy. Dr. Moreno's son Jonathan, a 1969 graduate of Beacon High, joined us virtually to discuss the Institute and his parents' work.
