Yes, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters were specifically designed to provide protection against harmful electrical shocks on circuits without the third wire ground. They cause a circuit breaker to pop if the magnitude of the current is not the same in both the hot and neutral wires (indicating current leakage to something else like a person or water).

However they also happen to make grounded three wire circuits even safer than they already are.
