Self-esteem is an assessment that is formed about oneself resulting from an individual's interaction with their environment. Low self-esteem is more common in teenagers whose parents are divorced. One form of therapy to increase self-esteem is psychodrama. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of psychodrama therapy to increase the self-esteem of adolescents with divorced parents. This research uses an experimental method with a pretest posttest control group design. The subjects were 12 MTS students aged 15 to 16 years whose parents were divorced and had low self-esteem. Subjects were divided into experimental and control groups. The instrument in the research was the Coopersmith self-esteem inventory and was analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in adolescents' self-esteem after being given psychodrama in the experimental group and there was no increase in the control group.
