'New age' activities, personality variables, symptomatology, and subjective well-being (SWB) among the Forum (F) participants, psychotherapy (P) clients, individuals who are both Forum and psychotherapy (FP) clients, and control (C) participants, who were never involved in either F or P were compared. A group of 64 Israeli men and 76 women (mean age = 38.55 years) completed a demographic questionnaire; the Internal-external, Sensation-seeking, Happiness, Affects balance, Satisfaction with life, and Anxiety and depression scales of the SCL-90. The FP and F participants used occult counsellors significantly more than the C participants, although gender differences were also found. All in all, the FP and P clients were more depressive and anxious, and less happy, less satisfied with their life, and affectively balanced than the F and the C participants. The rationality, personal responsibility, and mental health of the F participants are discussed in light of the results with considerations of short-versus long-term interventions.
对参与论坛（F）者、接受心理治疗（P）的来访者、同时参与论坛和接受心理治疗（FP）的来访者以及从未参与过论坛或心理治疗的对照（C）参与者进行了比较，涉及“新时代”活动、人格变量、症状学和主观幸福感（SWB）。一组64名以色列男性和76名女性（平均年龄 = 38.55岁）填写了一份人口统计学调查问卷；完成了SCL - 90的内外向、感觉寻求、幸福感、情感平衡、生活满意度以及焦虑和抑郁量表。尽管也发现了性别差异，但FP和F参与者比C参与者更多地使用神秘学顾问。总体而言，与F和C参与者相比，FP和P来访者更抑郁、焦虑，幸福感更低，对生活的满意度更低，情感平衡能力也更差。根据结果并考虑短期与长期干预，对F参与者的理性、个人责任感和心理健康进行了讨论。
