“…3 In fact, spontaneity is a psychological construct not easily definable, which assumes an important role in the foundation of psychodrama. 4 It was elaborated by Jacob Moreno, who defined it as "a response of an individual to a new situation and the new response to an old situation" 5(p.50) and tried to operationalize such an idea in some early works. [6][7][8][9] For a long time, only the non-standardized spontaneity test introduced by the author was used, 5 which consists of observing and evaluating people's performance in different situations.…”

Introduction: The passage from adolescence to young adulthood introduces many challenges and chances aimed at promoting independence, financial self-sufficiency, assumption of responsibilities and separation from parents. Literature shows that in the continuum between these two phases of life, many factors intervene, producing significant differentiations. Methods: This study considered three dimensions - well-being, measured through the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM); spontaneity, measured through the Spontaneity Assessment Inventory-Revised (SAI-R); and self-efficacy, measured through the General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE). The study involved two groups of Italian participants: 495 adolescents, aged between 13 and 19 years, selected at a high school; and 368 young adults, aged between 18 and 30 years, recruited by snowball sampling. Results: Results of confirmatory factor analysis for each instrument in each group indicate the validity of the three instruments for both age groups. No significant differences were found between adolescents and young adults on total or subtotal scores of the CORE-OM, except for the risk factor. Conversely, the mean scores obtained with SAI-R and GSE were very different between adolescents and young adults. Conclusions: The results of path analysis show a significant mediation of spontaneity in the link between self-efficacy and all specific psychological distress domains for adolescents. Instead, there is a significant mediation of spontaneity between self-efficacy and all specific psychological distress domains except the risk domain for young adults.

“…While at first it was applied in psychopedagogic centers for the rehabilitation of children and adolescents with a variety of problems (Anzieu, 1979), later it was proved to be successful for several psychopathological symptoms among children, adolescents and adults (Lemoine & Lemoine, 1973) and its practice has spread also in Italy (e.g., Croce, 2001;Miglietta, 1998). Indeed, analytical psychodrama is a suitable psychotherapy technique for the treatment of anxiety-depressive disorders, borderline and pre-psychotic conditions (Kipper & Ritchie, 2003). Psychodrama simultaneously works to both raise awareness of suffering mental content and to create more functional models of behavior and communication through the help of the group.…”

The aim of this work was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of analytical psychodrama groups for college students with psychological problems. Analytical psychodrama, as a form of group psychotherapy, is an integral part of the program of treatment of young adults in the Counselling Center of the University of Bologna, which provides a free service for its students, aimed at delivering psychological support. Thirty patients (22 females) from 20 to 26 years old (mean age 22.33, standard deviation±1.75), suffering from mental health problems, who completed one year of psychodrama, were assessed before and after group psychotherapy. The Italian validation of Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation -Outcome Measure was used as test-retest questionnaire for clinical outcome evaluation. The results demonstrated the efficacy of the treatment in terms of symptom decrease and improvement of patients' well being. After the treatment (40 sessions, once a week), patients showed a statistically significant reduction in clinical outcomes scores compared with pre-treatment scores. Moreover, the analyses of Reliable and Clinical Significant Change index showed that about 30% of patients improved, and this improvement was reliable and/or clinically significant. Our preliminary findings revealed that analytical psychodrama is a suitable treatment for college students, as it actually reduces young adults' symptoms. These results contribute to the topic of the validity of psychodrama interventions to encourage research regarding the specific psychotherapeutic effects of its method.

“…Many articles and research projects have focused on the use of psychodrama in various settings and the use of various techniques in such settings, (Kipper and Ritchie 2003;Van der May and Peake 1980;Lippitt 1958;McVie et al 2011;Daniels 2008;Gimenez Hinkle 2008;Moreno 1959/1975). As far as I can ascertain, there are no published replications of research into any one specific technique or replications of research into the application of psychodrama in a particular field with a particular group.…”

I conducted a qualitative phenomenological investigation with three participants into the application of a specific psychodrama production technique; namely Role Reversal-in one-to-one supervision. Role reversal increases therapists' ability to empathize with their clients, to individuate from any projective tendencies, to be more aware of what they are doing and it also serves to raise consciousness in therapists. This paper explores the usefulness of role reversal in one-to-one supervision. It showed that there was an increase in spontaneity and a corresponding decrease in anxiety, which led to an expansion in the therapists' consciousness and confidence. There is a reflection on the role of the researcherpractitioner and a comparison between this and a similar project, which demonstrates comparable results.Keywords Role reversal · One-to-one supervision · Qualitative phenomenological investigation · Heuristic enquiry · Psychodrama Die Wirksamkeit des Rollenwechsels in der Einzelsupervision. Ein qualitatives Forschungsprojekt auf der Grundlage einer heuristischen UntersuchungZusammenfassung Es wurde eine qualitativ phänomenologische Untersuchung mit einer Stichprobe von drei Personen zu einer spezifischen Psychodrama-Technik, dem Rollenwechsel, im Rahmen eines Einzelsupervisionssettings durchgeführt. Der Rollenwechsel fördert die Empathiefähigkeit der TherapeutInnen für ihre 236 S. Daniel 3KlientInnen; insbesondere vermindert er projektive Tendenzen, schärft die Wahrnehmung für das eigene Handeln und dient grundsätzlich dazu, das Bewusstsein der TherapeutInnen zu erweitern. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Wirksamkeit des Rollenwechsels in der Einzelsupervision. Es wird gezeigt, dass es einen Zuwachs an Spontaneität und eine korrespondierende Abnahme an Angst bei den TherapeutInnen gibt, die zur Steigerung von Selbstbewusstsein und Selbstvertrauen führen. Darüber hinaus wird die Rolle des Forscher/Praktikers reflektiert, und ein Vergleich mit Resultaten dieses Forschungsprojektes und den Ergebnissen einer ähnlichen Studie gezogen, um Zusammenhänge zu zeigen.
