Comprehensive Review of the Effectiveness of Psychodrama in Sexual Abuse Trauma

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1027/1016-9040/a000517

Abstract: Sexual abuse is a phenomenon present in all social classes and cultures and has become more relevant in recent decades. Victims suffer traumatic consequences in the short and long terms and one of the possible approaches to be used in treatment is Psychodrama. This study presents an overview of Psychodrama and the Role Reversal technique, as well as its effectiveness, especially in the treatment of trauma, in particular, trauma resulting from sexual abuse. For this study, we searched the main international databases. We have discovered that psychodrama can serve as a highly effective intervention model for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. However, our primary finding emphasizes the necessity for additional research regarding the efficacy of Psychodrama and its Role-reversal technique specifically for victims of sexual abuse.
