“…All qualitative studies used a single-group design, and the number of participants ranged from three to 40 ( M = 17, SD = 20.07). Two studies followed up the participants: a study about drama therapy and children at risk followed participants for 3 years after the posttest (McArdle et al, 2011), and a case study about a young girl with selective mutism performed a 1-year follow-up (Oon, 2010).…”

“…(midrange) risk of bias in all domains (McArdle et al, 2011); the study that examined the effectiveness of drama therapy in improving speech and academic performance presented a mix of unclear and low risk of bias in the different domains (Rajabi et al, 2013); the study that examined the effectiveness of drama therapy for people with dementia presented high risk of bias in most of the domains (Mechaeil, Graybow, & Cobham, 2010); and the study that used drama therapy in preparation for a medical procedure presented a mixture of high, unclear, and low risk of bias across domains (Ilievová et al, 2015). None of the four studies was identified as having a low risk of bias across all six domains.…”

Drama therapy is an active and experiential psychotherapy modality that involves the intentional and systematic use of drama/theater processes as primary means to achieve psychological growth and change within a psychotherapeutic relationship. At present, drama therapy is in the crucial stage of moving from clinical reports of case studies and vignettes to producing evidence-based practice supported by empirical studies. Drama therapy intervention research is relatively scarce compared to other psychotherapies and psychological interventions. In this article, we conducted a systematic review of drama therapy intervention studies published in the last decade (2007 to 2017). We adopted an integrative approach to systematic review that includes a combination of publications with diverse methodologies and various client groups, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes. Search in four databases and a hand search resulted in 24 drama therapy intervention articles. The results summarize the different approaches used in drama therapy and the populations with which it is being used. In addition, we address some key methodological issues that arise from the different studies. In the last decade, drama therapy research has produced promising results, showing that drama therapy offers effective treatment for various populations. The largest number of studies concerns individuals (adults and children) with developmental disabilities, cognitive impairments, or both (46%). Limitations and recommendations for improving methodology, transparency, and specificity in reporting on future drama therapy and other intervention research are discussed.

“…Such evaluations have been carried out elsewhere and across a range of settings. These include studies of school‐based peer support programmes (Cowie et al , 2002), interventions to reduce childhood behavioural and emotional symptoms (McArdle et al , 2011) and the treatment of young abusers (Masson et al , 2013). This work is the exception though.…”

specialises in research on child protection and looked after children, but also carries out studies into child victimisation and child welfare more generally. Adam Green is a qualified social worker and was a manager in a private organisation providing therapeutic residential care to severely maltreated children. He now works as an independent social work consultant to a range of children's organisations in the public, voluntary and private sector. AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank all of the young people and adults who took part in this study for their willingness to discuss their lives in The Orchards and their lives currently; thereby making this important research possible. We would also like to thank all those who helped facilitate contact with these young people and adults. This aim of this paper is to advance knowledge concerning outcomes among the former residents of therapeutic children's homes, especially those located in England. Sixteen young adults who had been resident in one of seven therapeutic houses took part in interviews. It appeared, from the information they gave in these interviews, that their outcomes were good in terms of their emotional and behavioural well-being, physical health, accommodation, and absence of early parenthood and substance use. Some of the young adults also had good outcomes in respect of their education and absence of criminal convictions. A small number of the young adults did less well on these latter two measures but few of them were particularly poor in either of these respects. The young adults had limited contact with their family members. The evidence from this research is that young adults who have been in therapeutic residential care can have good outcomes. Summary• Young adults placed as children in therapeutic residential establishments can have good outcomes in terms of their emotional and behavioural well-being, physical health, accommodation, and absence of early parenthood and substance use.• Some of these young adults can also have good outcomes in respect of their education and the absence of criminal convictions but for other former residents these outcomes are not as good, although none are very poor on either of these measures.• The young adults have limited contact with family members.• Policy makers and practitioners should continue to consider the placement of children in therapeutic residential establishments, especially where those children have acute emotional and behavioural needs that arise out of severe maltreatment.

“…The literature shows that drama therapy is a valuable intervention expanding the possibilities of working with young offenders (Hanna & Hunt, 1999). Drama group therapy intervention's effectiveness was evaluated through the randomized controlled trial among students at risk for emotional and behavioural problems (McArdle, et al, 2011); and among students with high aggressive behaviour (Karataş & Gökçakan, 2009a;2009b) showing reduction of behavioural symptoms and total aggression respectively.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential for an integrated arts therapy intervention to influence youth at risk for delinquent behavior. Toward this goal, we applied a one-group pre-post experimental design to assess the effect of an Integrated Arts Therapy Program on participants' selfreported life satisfaction, self-esteem (global and academic), mood (general and momentary), and emotional and behavioural problems (emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer, and prosocial behavior) in a sample of students with risk of delinquency. Teachers identified at risk youngsters and 95 students aged between 8 and 17 participated in 16 different gender-mixed groups for 16 sessions during eight-week program period. Results of within group comparisons indicated positive, statistically significant improvements from pre-to posttest on all of the measures: (1) increased global self-esteem (the Global Negative Self-Evaluations Scale), academic self-esteem (the Perceived Academic Competence Scale), and life satisfaction (the Students' Life Satisfaction Scale); (2) decreased total difficulties with conduct and hyperactivity problems, and improved prosocial behavior (the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire); and (3) improved momentary and general mood over time by intervention. These findings indicated that the multi-modal arts therapy group-based program for students with risk for delinquency may be an effective intervention and can lead to at least short-term positive changes by improving participants' self-esteem, wellbeing and behavioral problems.
