  • Summary

    The Creative Arts Therapies (CAT) is an umbrella term covering several specialized disciplines: art therapy, dance movement therapy, drama therapy, psychodrama, music therapy, and poetry / bibliotherapy. In these healthcare professions, arts-based creative and expressive processes and their products are used to improve health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship. The first part of this chapter will provide an overview of the CAT disciplines, training requirements, and the field’s history. The second part will describe the therapeutic change factors shared by all CAT disciplines. Part three will discuss evidence-based findings from CAT studies on emotional well-being including regulating and processing emotions, stress relief, depressive symptoms and grief processing. Finally, in part four, future directions for CAT research will be suggested, with an emphasis on change process research, including mechanisms of change.

  • Introduction

    Psychodrama and Drama therapy enable patients to establish contact with the threat of stepping into a given role. This gives the opportunity to learn how to control it, which leads to better expression of oneself and better communication with the environment. Those qualities are crucial in the treatment of mental disorders. Despite the variety of literature describing the methodology, clinical trials using these forms of therapy are relatively rare.

    Objectives

    To describe the current trends in psychodrama (PD) and drama (DT) research over the last 6 years.

    Methods

    We have implemented a systematic approach to literature review, consistent with the PRISMA declaration. We searched through major medical databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus by Elsevier and Science Direct for peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2020. We have included studies using all types of methodology: mixed, quantitative and qualitative and also case studies. The risk of bias was assessed for randomized clinical trials, consistent with the PRISMA declaration.

    Results

    Using our search strategy we have identified 24 publications with 454 participants. Most of the subjects were adults, only four studies focused on children. Overall, these studies looked at the effects of PD i DT on more than 25 different outcomes. Therefore theatre - based therapies research reports promising results across all methodologies. Although, most of the interventions have small groups of clients and are not randomized.

    Conclusions

    Current reports on the effectiveness of PD and DT still need to be verified on a larger group of patients.

    Disclosure

    No significant relationships.
