“…Rosal (1989) argues that such "narrative" methodologies lack clarity, objectivity and the critical facility of independent verification or replication. Clinical writers argue that the quantitative measures used in the studies do not adequately identify the complexities of the changes that occur during arts therapy treatment (Hagood 1990;Kellerman 1987). Reviewing empirical studies in art and drama therapy, Burleigh and Beutler (1997, p. 377) argue that "the majority of art therapy literature consists of narrative case studies on samples whose particular problems are poorly identified" and conclude that, despite their popularity, "the art and drama therapies raise far more questions than they can answer" (Burleigh & Beutler, 1997, p. 380).…”

Creativity is popularly related to innovation and new ideas. This invention-cognition view of creativity is too narrow a concept for artistic creativity. Artistic creation is also about reproducing traditions and emotional ("affective") processes. Widespread use of the popular invention-cognition view of creativity in arts advocacy obscures wider dimensions of artistic creativity. This article focuses attention on the affective dimension of artistic creation. It surveys "arts therapy" literature and investigates how lessons of this literature can be used to improve the persuasiveness of arts advocacy arguments that appeal to the concept of creativity.

“…In the PD literature, three major systematic reviews of research have been published. In Kellermann’s review of 23 outcome studies (articles published between 1952 and 1985) he concluded that PD “is a valid alternative to other therapeutic approaches, primarily in promoting behavior change with adjustment, antisocial, and related disorders” [4]. Kipper and Ritchie [5] conducted the first meta-analytic study that focused on the effectiveness of using specific PD techniques in 25 experimentally designed studies (articles published between 1965 and 1999).…”

Integrative systematic review of psychodrama psychotherapy research: Trends and methodological implications

Background Psychodrama is an experiential psychotherapy in which guided role-play is used to gain insights and work on personal and interpersonal problems and possible solutions. Despite the wealth of literature describing clinical work, psychodrama intervention research is relatively scarce compared to other psychotherapies and psychological interventions. Objective For this reason we implemented the integrative approach to systematic review that authorizes the combination of publications with diverse methodologies and all types of participants, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes. Our aim was to produce a comprehensive summary of psychodrama intervention research in the last decade that critically evaluates methodological issues to inform future studies. Methods We searched four major electronic databases (PsycINFO, PubMEd, Scopus by Elsevier, and Web of Science) for peer-reviewed articles on psychodrama interventions published in English between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2017. The quality of qualitative and mixed methods studies was assessed on the basis of pre-established guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed for all quantitative randomized control studies, consistent with the PRISMA protocol. Findings The database search and a hand search resulted in 31 psychodrama intervention publications. Overall, these studies examined the effects of psychodrama on more than 20 different outcomes and most studies had adult clients. The next largest group was adolescents, whereas only two studies involved children. Thus psychodrama intervention research in the last decade suggests there are promising results in all methodologies, and highlights the need to enhance methodological as well as reporting quality and to theorize and examine modality-specific mechanisms that lead to therapeutic change. Recommendations to improve methodology, transparency, and specificity in reporting future psychodrama and other psychotherapy research are discussed.

“…Smokowski, Bacallao / Entre Dos Mundos: One-Year Follow-Up 21 In addition, this study contributes to the body of research knowledge supporting the use of psychodramatic methods in prevention and treatment. Although psychodrama is one of the oldest forms of psychotherapy, dating back to the 1930s, empirical evidence showing the efficacy of this approach has been limited (Buchanan, 1984;Kellerman, 1987;Kipper, 1978). Research in this area has generally not met current standards of rigor because psychodramatic methods are either implemented in combination with other adjunctive approaches or used independently for less predictable applications in education, business, social services, and personal development.…”

This study evaluates the efficacy of two implementation strategies for Entre Dos Mundos/Between Two Worlds (EDM), a prevention program for Latino adolescents, measured 1 year after program completion. Using an experimental research design, 81 Latino families were randomly assigned to two formats of EDM prevention that used identical session themes: 56 families attended action-oriented skill training and 25 attended unstructured support groups. When EDM was delivered in action-oriented family groups using psychodrama techniques, the program was associated with lower rates of oppositional defiant behavior, anxious depression, parent-adolescent conflict, and total problems in Latino immigrant adolescents. A follow-up 1 year after program completion showed that action-oriented groups maintained superior effects when compared to support groups. The authors discuss implications for practice and future research.
