The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Psychodrama Couple Therapy and Integrated Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) in improving dyadic adjustment among couples in Tehran in 2019. 

This semi-experimental study utilized a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all couples who were referred to the Dramatherapy Center of Iran in 2019. The study sample included thirty-six individuals, or eighteen couples, selected through an available sampling method. Data were collected using the Spanier Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and analyzed using both single-variable and multivariate analysis of covariance. 

The findings indicated a significant difference (P<0.05) in the effectiveness of Psychodrama Couple Therapy compared to Integrated Behavioral Couple Therapy on couples’ dyadic adjustment. 

The results suggest that Psychodrama Couple Therapy has a greater positive impact than Integrated Behavioral Couple Therapy across all subscales, including agreement, expression of love, connection, and overall satisfaction among couples. Therefore, Psychodrama Couple Therapy can be recommended for improving dyadic adjustment in couples.

Divorced women often face many problems due to fear of intimacy and ineffective emotional regulation. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of psychodrama training with eclectic mindful emotion-focused training and emotion-focused training on fear of intimacy and emotional self-regulation among divorced women.
This research was a quasi-experimental study with a control group. The statistical population was divorced women in the spring 2022 in Isfahan, Iran. Among them, 64 women were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned into three experimental groups and a control group (each with 16 people). The Fear of Intimacy Scale of Descutner and Thelen (1991) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire of Gratz and Roemer  (2004) were used to assess dependent variables in three stages. The three training groups were each trained for 12 sessions of 90 minutes. The data were analyzed by the repeated measures analysis of variance.
The results showed a significant difference in fear of intimacy and emotional self-regulation between emotion-focused training, psychodrama training, and eclectic training with the control group and between emotion-focused training and psychodrama training (p<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the psychodrama and emotion-focused training and the eclectic training group (p<0.05).
Considering the effectiveness of eclectic mindful emotion-focused training, psychodrama training, and emotion-focused training on reducing the fear of intimacy and emotional self-regulation, and also the high effectiveness of psychodrama compared to the emotion-focused training, it is suggested that in counseling and psychotherapy centers, all three methods be used for divorced women.

Defense mechanisms play a very important role in the ability to cope with stress and adaptability of divorced women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to comparing the effectiveness of mindful emotion focused psychodrama training, psychodrama and emotion focused training on defense mechanism of divorced women. 

This research was a semi-experimental study with the design of three experimental groups and one control group with pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The statistical population was divorced women in the spring of 2022 in Isfahan, Iran. From them, 64 divorced women were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned in three experimental groups and a control group (15 people for each group). Defense mechanism questionnaire of Andrews et al (1993) was used to assess dependent variables in three stages. The three training groups were each trained for 12 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group did not receive any training. The data were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance and post-hoc Bonferroni test by SPSS version 26.

The finding of the research showed that three methods of mindful emotion focused psychodrama training, psychodrama training and emotion focused training were effective in reducing the immature and neurotic defense mechanisms (p<0.01). In increasing the mature defense mechanisms, only psychodrama training with the highest effectiveness and then emotion focused training were effective (p<0.01).

Considering the equal effectiveness of mindful emotion focused psychodrama training, psychodrama and emotion focused training on reducing the neurotic and immature defense mechanisms, as well as psychodrama training as the most effective method and then emotion focused training on the promotion of mature defense mechanisms, it is suggested that these trainings be used for divorced women in counseling and psychotherapy centers.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women and patients have problems with subjective well-being, emotional regulation and body image. Due to the need for intervention to improve the women with breast cancer and little research on the effectiveness of psychodrama, the present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of psychodrama on body image, emotional regulation and subjective well-being in women with breast cancer.

This quasi-experimental study was a pre-test, post-test and follow-up study with a control group. The study population was women with breast cancer who were referred to Shohada Tajrish Hospital in Tehran, Iran in 2019. Thirty women were selected by the available sampling method and were divided into two equal groups of test and control (n=15 in each group) by simple random method. The experimental group was trained in 10 sessions of 90 minutes by psychodrama and the control group was placed on a waiting list for training. Data were collected using body image, emotional regulation and subjective wellbeing questionnaires.

The experimental and control groups were matched in terms of age, education, marriage and number of children (P> 0.05). Also, there was no significant difference between the groups in the pre-test phase in terms of body image, emotional regulation and subjective well-being (P> 0.05), but in the posttest and follow-up phases, a significant difference was recorded in terms of all three variables (P <0.001). In addition, psychodrama improved body image, emotional regulation and subjective well-being in women with breast cancer and this improvement was maintained in the follow-up phase (P <0.001).

The findings showed the effectiveness of psychodrama on improving body image, emotional regulation and subjective well-being and continuing its effectiveness. Therefore, therapists and health professionals can use the psychodrama method along with other treatment methods to improve the characteristics of breast cancer patients, especially improving body image, emotional regulation and subjective well-being.

Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psychodrama, reminiscence and Allis’s rational-emotional and behavioral therapy (REBT) on DA in the elderly. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical papulation included all male elderly with DA residing in nursing homes in Kermanshah, Iran. At first, selected through convenience sampling was a center in which 40 elderlies were selected according to inclusion criteria and randomly divided to three experimental and one control groups. Psychodrama group received 12 sessions of 60 minutes within a period of one and half months, reminiscence group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes within a period of five weeks and REBT group received eight twice a week sessions within a period of one month. Templar’s short psychology and DA questionnaires were used to collect the required data. The results from univariate covariance analysis (ANCOVA) indicated that all three treatments were significantly effective in reducing DA (p < 0.05). Likewise, the results of LSD post hoc test showed the significant difference between psychodrama and reminiscence (p < 0.01) and between psychodrama and REBT (p < 0.01). Though the difference was not significant between reminiscence and REBT in decreasing of DA among elderly (p < 0.01). Hence, psychologists in elderly domain can utilize these interventions, specifically psychodrama, to reduce DA in aged people. References Abdollahzadeh, H., & Khabazi, M. (2017).
