Studies on treatment effects of psychodrama psychotherapy

Psychodrama as psychotherapy is based on theories of spontaneity, creativity and action. It is probably due to this association that the study of psychodrama&s;s effectiveness, in a controlled and more rigid academic way, has been neglected. Consequently, psychodrama psychotherapy, despite being one of the first recognized psychotherapies, still has a relatively tentative status in the scientific fields of psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy. Systematic research will provide us with answers with regard to which treatment effect can be associated with which research method and type of measurement.
