USE OF PSYCHODRAMA AND SOCIODRAMA IN REDUCING EXCESSIVE NEGRO AGGRESSION

Abstract

Events, both national and international, during the past decade have focused interdisciplinary attention on the black man and his treatment. Emanicipation of the African Negro from European colonialism and the establishment of independent African states provide new impetus for black people elsewhere in their struggle for equality.A comprehensive survey of the psychological literature of the past decade on problems of the American Negro was made by Logan in 1966. He concluded that the prototype of the "good nigger" who "knows his place," while appropriate for survival of the 19th Century American Negro, is no longer appropriate and is being discarded in favor of an aggressive effort to force environmental change.
