Psycho-art-drama: development and testing a new integrated complementary method of psychiatric treatments for hospitalised children with cancer (a case study)

Surveying 80 Years of Psychodrama Research: A Scientometric Review

“…The second largest cluster was named "telepsychodrama therapy" and consisted of 134 references. The citing papers belonging to this cluster are represented in trauma (81,84), in addition to various physical and mental health conditions (77,80,93). Furthermore, there is also an increasing focus on preventive work (e.g., (78,79,85)), revealing the broader movement of psychological interventions toward a more positivist and humanistic approach.…”

“…It can be seen that most citing papers of this cluster are fairly recent, with most published within the last 5 years of this study. The label of this cluster originated from Biancalani et al ( 76 )'s work on adapting psychodrama to an online format during the COVID-19 pandemic, but is also more broadly indicative of research advances in psychodrama in recent years, such as application to themes such as sexuality and gender ( 82 , 94 ), abuse and trauma ( 81 , 84 ), in addition to various physical and mental health conditions ( 77 , 80 , 93 ). Furthermore, there is also an increasing focus on preventive work (e.g., ( 78 , 79 , 85 )), revealing the broader movement of psychological interventions toward a more positivist and humanistic approach.…”

Artes visuales en hospitales pediátricos. El papel del arte en el bienestar psicológico de los niños hospitalizados

“…A la perspectiva ambiental corresponderían dos trabajos (Jiang, 2020;Sanna et al, 2020). A la perspectiva participativa corresponderían seis trabajos (Coholic et al, 2020;Düzkaya et al, 2021;Oh & Chung, 2021;Purrezaian et al, 2020;Snyder et al, 2021;Wang & Xiao, 2021). Otros seis corresponderían a la perspectiva exploratoria (Ebrahimpour et al, 2021;Galvez et al, 2021;Qiu et al, 2021;Robertson et al, 2022;van der Riet et al, 2020;Walker, 2021).…”

Digital integrated dramatherapy: A feasibility study in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology

“…Adequacy of the intervention to aims characteristics (Mazor, 1982;Irwin, 1986;Chasin et al, 1989;Bielańska et al, 1991;Ruddy and Dent-Brown, 2007;Knox and Svendsen, 2015;Keisari and Palgi, 2017;Purrezaian et al, 2020). A therapeutic intervention, which integrates life-review narrative together with drama therapy in older adults, was effective in increasing self-acceptance, relationships with others, a sense of meaning in life, and a sense of successful aging; it also decreased depressive symptoms (Keisari and Palgi, 2017).…”

“…Several studies highlighted the effectiveness of Dramatherapy in different areas of health, such as schizophrenia, eating disorders, and oncological diseases, involving different target populations, such as children, adolescents, the elderly, and couples; however, they mainly refer to the use of the theatrical medium as a valid tool for therapeutic intervention (Chasin et al, 1989;Bielańska et al, 1991;Ruddy and Dent-Brown, 2007;Knox and Svendsen, 2015;Keisari and Palgi, 2017;Purrezaian et al, 2020). Instead, the present study focuses on an innovative methodology, the Integrated Dramatherapy applied to digital, in which the use of artistic languages is combined with psycho-corporeal techniques, with the aim to bring participants to the construction of a metaphorical path by integrating bodily movements, pictures research and production, figurative and plastic creation, reflective and creative writing, dramatization and verbalization (CDInarrAZIONI, 2022).…”
