Abstract

The new scientific environment within which psychodramatists must work demands an analysis of both the present status of the social sciences and an understanding of psychodrama's role in their progress. This matter cannot be answered in its totality here-indeed more questions may be raised by this discussion than answered-but it is long past the appropriate time for the initiation of such an inquiry. Our emphasis would be on placing psychodrama within the framework of contemporary events in the social sciences.
