Abstract

SOCIOMETRY AS A QUANTIFYING and a qualitative social science has benefitted in recent years from both the development of theory and the application of computer technology. This section provides information to the reader about the following: computer programs for sociometric data, particularly the MacIntosh program; the work of Hector Sabelli that features a process theory and emphasizes the union of opposites; and John Mosher's work in myth, ritual, and therapy, which has prompted the design of the "sociometric cycle." The following short reports elaborate on these new developments.
