While the benefits of participating in psychodrama have been identified, few studies have noted any potential risks involved for participants in psychodrama. Objectives: This study was aimed to compare the psychodrama experiences of mental health workers and students in Taiwan and China. Method: An exhaustive questionnaire was developed for completion online. It was then published on the Facebook page of the Taiwan Psychodrama Association, and the Psychodrama Forum on WeChat in China. As a result, 220 valid responses were received. Results: The study found that for most participants the psychodrama experience was positive and that they would continue to attend. In terms of negative experiences, Chinese participants had more interpersonal issues but received greater levels of support from members within the group than those from Taiwan. Conclusions: Based on the present study, therapists in China need to focus more on the interpersonal issues of psychodrama participants, while those in Taiwan need to provide them with additional assistance to minimize any potential risks. Recommendations for future research are to categorize the types of psychodrama risks, and the mechanisms that transform those risks into benefits. |
