Modern history of short-term group psychotherapy dates back to the late 1950-ies. From then to present day, this psychotherapeutic method has been used in various forms, from dynamic-oriented to cognitive behavioural psychotherapies. Although it has always been considered rather controversial, due its cost-effectiveness, it has been capturing more and more popularity. This paper presents the specificities of first session short-term psychotherapy psychodrama group through session work with two examined groups: a group of 20 adult women who suffer from mild or moderate forms of unipolar depression and a group of 20 students of the School of Medicine in Zagreb without any psychiatric symptomatology. The results indicate the high importance of having structure in first psychodrama session, of relating it with the previously thoroughly conducted, initial, clinical, interviews, and of the clarity and focus in terms of determining the goals of therapy, especially in a clinical context. This study also confirmed assumptions regarding the need for different approaches of warming-up in psychodrama, both in the clinical and in non-clinical samples. A psychodrama psychotherapist should have good time managing skills and capability to convert the time available into an opportunity for directly boosting the group energy and work on therapeutic alliance.
短期团体心理治疗的现代历史可以追溯到20世纪50年代末。从那时到现在，这种心理治疗方法以各种形式被使用，从以动力为导向的心理治疗到认知行为心理治疗。尽管它一直被认为颇具争议，但因其成本效益，它越来越受欢迎。本文通过对两个受试组的治疗过程，呈现了短期心理治疗心理剧团体首次治疗的特点：一组是20名患有轻度或中度单相抑郁症的成年女性，另一组是20名来自萨格勒布医学院且无任何精神症状的学生。结果表明，在首次心理剧治疗中建立结构、将其与之前全面进行的初始临床访谈相联系，以及在确定治疗目标方面保持清晰和专注非常重要，尤其是在临床环境中。这项研究还证实了关于在临床和非临床样本中，心理剧热身需要不同方法的假设。心理剧治疗师应具备良好的时间管理技能，并有能力将可用时间转化为直接增强团体能量和建立治疗联盟的机会。
