Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Paulo Cesar de. Solitude and sociometric isolation: antithesis or synonymy - preliminary studies based on drug addiction groups. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.1, pp. 68-76. ISSN 0104-5393.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15329/2318-0498.20170008.

This work investigates the similarities between the feeling of loneliness and the psychodrama concept of sociometric isolation, as well as their influence on human choices, in this case, drug addiction. Questions arise in order to understand which affective logic of conducts are activated, which conserved characters are acting, and how these concepts, so rich and important of the contemporary Psychodrama, are crystallizing and transferring to other contexts by clusters of roles and in which way these roles work together with the here and now installed in the relations established among people who belongs to the groups served. It still investigates the possibilities of controlling certain pain based on overcoming of that state of isolation.

Keywords : sociometry; codependency; social isolation; loneliness; drug abuse.
