Abstract

The evaluation is based on a retrospective follow-up design with a comparison group, the study was realized in an outpatient counselling and treatment institution in Sigmaringen (Germany). The instruments of the evaluation are the EBIS-A sheet and a follow-up questionnaire based on the SEDOS inquiry sheet. The follow-up study has been conducted at the Sigmaringen institution in 1998. The sample consisted of 70 patients with addiction (ICD-10 diagnoses F10, F11, F12, F50, F55, and F60) (responder rate was 64%) who took part in an outpatient psychodramatic group therapy between 1993 and 1997. An abstinence rate of 72.9% has been achieved, which is a very high rate in comparison with results of similar studies. This result as well as the high general satisfaction of life among the participants of the follow-up study is discussed.

Key words:

Psychodrama group therapy; Addiction; Outpatient treatment; Follow-up study; Treatment efficacy; Patient satisfaction.
