Research in the field of psychodrama is rich with descriptions of experiences and case illustrations; however viewed through the lens of research many prove to be methodologically weak. This paper aims to introduce and propose Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a valuable instrument for psychodrama research. For the purposes of this paper, the method will be described as three broad elements: the epistemological position; some guidelines for conducting research and an example of using IPA in psychodrama research. Studies using IPA bring an in-depth understanding and sense-making of the experiences of participants in various psychodrama groups, they reveal the therapeutic change process and the personal meaning of therapeutic outcomes. The paper concludes with a discussion on the potential for IPA to contribute to the field of psychodrama research, directions for its use and its limitations. Whilst acknowledging that psychodrama research primarily needs experimentally conducted designs to achieve the mainstream standards of the scientific community, there is a need to increase the rigor of qualitative studies. Therefore this article is meant to act as a catalyst for more studies using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the robustness of which will be useful for psychodrama research.
