Background and Aim: Overweight is one of the most common problems in women, and therefore, paying attention to reducing body mass index, eating disorders, and improving self-esteem in these women by choosing appropriate psychotherapy is of particular importance. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of psychodrama psychotherapy on eating disorders, body mass index, and self-esteem in overweight women.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test-one-month follow-up design and with a control group. The statistical population included all overweight women in Districts of Tehran in 1403, of which 30 were selected from the Nutrition and Diet Therapy Center located on Pasdaran Street in Tehran and were randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The data collection tools were the Eating Disorders Questionnaires of Stick et al. Eysenck's Self-Esteem and Body Mass Index using a Body Analyzer. Psychodrama psychotherapy was implemented for 10 sessions for the experimental group, and during this period the control group received non-interventional information.
Results: The results of the study showed that psychodrama psychotherapy is effective in reducing eating disorders and body mass index and increasing self-esteem in overweight women (P <0.05).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that psychodrama is an effective adjunct treatment for reducing symptoms of eating disorders, body mass index and increasing self-esteem in women, and the use of this treatment method in preventing psychological damage caused by overweight is recommended to counselors.
