Psychodrama is an effective psychotherapeutic model but interventions with adolescents require age-tailored techniques that maximize engagement and facilitate communication processes. This study describes a novel adaptation of a therapeutic mask technique to psychodrama with adolescents. Over the course of eight group sessions of psychodrama, five adolescents (16 to 18 years-old) created their own mask and explored its therapeutic use. Their experiences were captured at the end of each session with the Helpful Aspects of Therapy (HAT) form, and at the end of the study with the Clinical Change Interview (CCI). Awareness/insight/self-understanding, empowerment and relief were the most significant aspects experienced by the adolescents, along with perceived increase of calmness and world connection, satisfaction in interpersonal communication and better emotional expression and regulation. The mask technique was experienced as a playful and engaging task that facilitated insight and interpersonal communication. Findings provide preliminary evidence on the clinical utility of mask-based psychodrama with adolescents.
心理剧是一种有效的心理治疗模式，但针对青少年的干预需要采用适合其年龄的技术，以最大限度地提高参与度并促进沟通。本研究描述了一种将治疗性面具技术新颖地应用于青少年心理剧的方法。在八次心理剧小组治疗过程中，五名青少年（16至18岁）制作了自己的面具并探索其治疗用途。每次治疗结束时，用治疗有益方面（HAT）表格记录他们的体验，研究结束时，通过临床变化访谈（CCI）进行记录。意识/洞察/自我理解、赋权和缓解是青少年体验到的最重要方面，同时还感觉平静感和与世界的联系有所增加、人际沟通满意度提高以及情绪表达和调节能力增强。面具技术被视为一项有趣且引人入胜的任务，有助于洞察和人际沟通。研究结果为基于面具的心理剧对青少年的临床效用提供了初步证据。
