Abstract

Sociometry and psychodrama are comparatively new sciences for the world, they are even newer for Turkey where their application is not highly developed. However, their sporadic and non-organized application thus far promises a bright future for them in Turkey.

While sociometry and psychodrama are not as well established, it may be safely said that the nucleus of group psychotherapy has been organized and is gathering more strength daily. Sociometry was introduced for the first time to the general public in Turkey by an influential and widely circu- lated newspaper "Cumhuriyet." The first of five articles under the heading "New Questions of Science" was published on April 4, 1958. The first and second articles tried to explain sociometry, its philosophy and foundations. The headline of the third article read "The Treatment of Mental Patients by Dramatic Methods." This article dealt with psychodrama and sociodrama. The fourth article was devoted to a description of the application of psychodrama. The concluding article in the series dealt with a sociometric test.
