This study aims to disclose changes in connectedness due to application of play therapy in the senior adolescents’ group. Research results disclosed that application of play therapy method “Game of Life”, grounded on psychodrama principles, adjusted the feeling of social connectedness among senior adolescents: changes were observed in connectedness to self, at the social level and to the close friend.
