The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of the psychodrama group experience on the selfcompassion levels of the 4th grade guidance and psychological counseling students and to reveal the student views relevant to this experience. The research was conducted in a state university in the academic year of 2016- 2017 under the scope of the elective “Psychodrama” course given in the undergraduate program of guidance and psychological counseling. Psychodrama group experience has continued for 8 weeks in total, three course hours every week. No process has been applied to the control group. This research was performed with mixed method including quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative and qualitative data for the research were separately evaluated. The quantitative data collected from the experiment and control group with self-compassion scale have been evaluated via Mann-Whitney-U Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test among the non-parametric tests. The qualitative data of the research was taken from the evaluation reports provided by the students of experiment group at the end of the process and examined by content analysis. Upon examination of the quantitative findings, it has been observed that the psychodrama group experience has significantly increased the positive subdimensions of self-compassion such as total self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness levels of the students, and significantly decreased the levels of negative sub-dimensions of self compassion such as selfjudgment, isolation and over identification. Upon examination of the qualitative findings, it has been observed that the students have both personal and professional gains from the psychodrama process.
