Nearly 50 authors enlarge the empirical base of

psychodrama. The aim and research questions cover instruments, methods, and

social network as well as clinical investigations of children, youth and

adults. The last chapter deals with research on supervision, education and

training. The contributors used mostly quantitative and mixed-method and some

qualitative designs. This ends up in evaluated tools, quality development in

treatment, efficacy in supervision, effectiveness in education and training.

Some studies were exploratory others more rigorous and "gold standard".





Half of the special issue is written in English or

German. Most of the authors come from Germany and Austria, but also from non

German speaking countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America.
