Evaluation of a psychodrama group process by qualitative data analysis method
摘要
In this study, published in the Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie, the benefits of psychodrama, to the group members and psychodrama components associated with these benefits were evaluated by a qualitative research methodology. HAT (Helpful Aspects of Therapy) were used as the data acquisition method. Qualitative data analysis and word analysis were performed on these data. Discourse analysis of HAT forms showed that the most frequent benefit codes were ‘awareness’, ‘warm-up to new process’, ‘understanding’ and ‘getting a lesson’. During the group process, there was a decrease in expressions related to cognitive processes while no evident change was observed on expressions related to emotional processes. Evaluation of the source of the beneficial effects revealed that group support and universality principles were at the forefront. Analysis of the members’ expressions regarding the evaluation of their own processes revealed the contributions of psychodrama to participants.
