“…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.…”

Almost a century after Jacob Levy Moreno pioneered the group practice of psychodrama, research in this area has flourished to include different sub-fields of study and psychodramatic intervention for various psychological conditions. By making use of scientometric analysis, particularly document citation analysis and keyword analysis, this study maps out dominant research domains in psychodrama since its inception. From these findings, projections of future research trends and an evaluation of psychodrama research are discussed. Generally, there has been an increased adoption of technology to facilitate psychodrama practice, along with an increasing integration of psychodramatic principles with other psychotherapies. To improve research in this area, this paper recommends greater transparency in the reporting of materials, processes and data used in publications. Finally, we encourage embracing new technological methods such as neuroimaging to provide greater insight into mechanisms of change in psychodrama. The field of psychodrama remains full of potential and innovations to be developed.

“…The description of the problems experienced by victims because of the lockdown highlighted how the factors described in the literature on IPV [9,27] were augmented by difficulties such as the aggravation and frequency of violence, financial/work, legal and bureaucratic problems, and the additional burden of childcare. These accompanied the victims' loss of confidence in the possibility of emancipating themselves from the cycle of violence and an adaptation to the control regime of the abuser.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted anti-violence centers for women. This study aims to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions affect: the assistance and protection functions of the anti-violence centers; the needs of women victims of violence; and the well-being of the professionals working with these women. Twenty-four Italian anti-violence centers were involved, and 29 women working there were interviewed. From the qualitative analysis of the texts, three main themes were identified regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the anti-violence centers service: 1) transformations and synergies to improve help-seeking, 2) consequences of the pandemic situation on women victims of violence, and 3) the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on professionals. The results show that anti-violence centers need to be restructured to respond to the changes caused by the pandemic and expand their remote support strategies. Their interventions were fundamental in enabling women to seek help during the COVID-19 pandemic. The professionals involved in providing support to victims encountered stressful difficulties specific to the pandemic.
