A LEGENDARY FIGURE FOR TURKISH PEOPLE

Mehmet Doğan Cüceloğlu was born as the youngest of
eleven children in Mersin, southern of Turkey in 1938.

Cüceloğlu's mother died when he was ten years old. After
graduating from middle school, he attended high schools

in Ankara and Kırklareli, so he could live with his older
brother.

Cüceloğlu was influenced by a literature teacher during his
high school years in Ankara. Then, he studied Psychology

at İstanbul University. He got a bachelor of Psychology
degree. After graduation, he went to the United States

for his doctoral studies. Next, he earned his Doctor of
Psychology degree in the field of media psychology from

the University of Illinois in 1967.

During his doctoral studies, Cüceloğlu married Emily, who was also a doctoral student. They had two daughters,
Ayşen and Elif, and a son, Timur. The family moved to Turkey and lived there for more than ten years while

Cüceloğlu was serving as an academic. In 1975, the family moved back to the U.S.A. After receiving his Ph.D.,
