Daha çok siyasi kişilerin biyografileri son zamanlarda akademik tarih çalışmalarında ilgi görmekte ve farklı disiplinlerden yardım alarak yeni boyut kazanmaktadır. Psikolojinin rehberliğindeki ve basitçe kişiyi daha iyi anlama olarak tanımlanan "psiko-biyografi" (psychociography) de bunlardan biridir. Psikobiyografi, incelenen kişinin ruh ve iç dünyasına yönelir ve kayda geçmiş arşivsel bilgi, anı ve anlatılardan yola çıkarak mantıklı/tutarlı açıklamalar getirmeye uğraşır. Akademik alanda yöntemi hâlâ tartışılan ve henüz yaygınlık kazanmamış böylesi çalışmaların bilimselliği, bu durumda kolaylıkla yazanın yaklaşım, ele alış tarzı ve tutumuyla ilişkilendirilebilir. Bu çalışma, yeni bir disiplin olarak bir psikobiyografik çalışmada nasıl bir yol izleneceği, güçlü-zayıf yanlarının neler olduğu ve kaynaklarının ne olacağı sorularını cevap arayan ve temelde bu yeni alanın metodolojik kurallarını/notlarını ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir.

Psychobiography heads towards spirit and inner world of individual examined and tries to bring logical/consistent explanations derived from knowledge, memory, and what was told based on recorded archive. In this case, being scientific of such studies whose method have still been discussing and which have not gained currency in academic field yet can be easily associated with approach, treatment, and attitude of writer. This study seeks for answers to the questions what kind of a way will be followed, what are, and what its references will be in a psycho-biographic study as a new discipline and basically aims to reveal methodological rules/notes of new field.
