The aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of analytical psychodrama groups for psychiatric adolescents.
Six patients with various psychiatric diseases (mean age 16.67 years, SD ± 1.21) were assessed before, during and after psychotherapy (12 sessions, one a week) by administering the Symptom Check List-90 (SCL 90 R) to identify any changes in their symptoms. Their clinical pictures are described, with observations on their treatment. The findings were compared with those of a clinical control group.
The results demonstrated the efficacy of the treatment in terms of symptom reduction, with statistically significant differences by comparison with the control group.
