This contribution deals with differences and similarities in perceiving dramatherapy in patients with neurotic disorder in the context of psychiatric treatment. The first goal ascertains if there are differences in assessment of dramatherapy according to the membership of dynamic or cognitive-behavioural group. The second goal ascertains differences during the first therapeutic session. The research assemblage was created by 57 patients from dynamic and cognitive-behavioural (KBT) groups from two mental hospitals in the Czech Republic. Data were gained by two-factor semantic differential and they were statistically assessed by a t-test (and further amended by qualitative group interviews). Conclusions have shown that the membership of patients of dynamic or KBT group has not an impact on their assessment of dramatherapeutic process.
