Abstract

This study is designed to embody a collections of a systematic evaluation tool for use in psychodrama in order to train psychodramatists. The foundational basis of this tool lies in 100 defined items that were examined in this study. Each criteria was specifically evaluated by individuals who were in training for psychodramatists practicing strictly in the context of actual psychodrama sessions. These psychodrama sessions were guided by three different directors who were of different experience levels. The results of each individual session were scored in positive/neutral/negative evaluation and the rates of positive evaluation were compared. The holistic results are as follows : First, lack of directorship experience positively related with a generally lower score, especially relating to warm up exercises, Second, average directorship experience positively related with a high score relating to technique but low score relating Quality of treatment, for example, catharsis and insight. Despite the lack of overwhelming experimental sample size, this study presents the possibility to use this Psychodrama Director Processing Checklist in psychodramatic sessions.
