The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a recovery group intervention based on compassionate mind training, for individuals with psychosis. In particular, the objective was to improve depression, to develop compassion towards self, and to promote help seeking.
A within-subjects design was used. Participants were assessed at the start of group, mid-group (5 weeks), the end of the programme and at 6 week follow-up. Three group programmes were run over the course of a year. Nineteen participants commenced the intervention and 18 completed the programme.
Significant improvements were found on the Social Comparison Scale; the Beck Depression Inventory; Other As Shamer Scale; the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory and the General Psychopathology Scale from the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.
The results provide initial indications of the effectiveness of a group intervention based on the principles of compassionate focused therapy for this population. The findings of this study, alongside implications of further research are discussed.
本研究旨在评估基于慈悲心训练的康复小组干预对精神病患者的有效性。具体而言，目标是改善抑郁情绪、培养对自我的同情心并促进求助行为。
采用组内设计。在小组开始时、小组中期（5周）、项目结束时以及6周随访时对参与者进行评估。在一年的时间里开展了三个小组项目。19名参与者开始干预，18名完成了该项目。
在社会比较量表、贝克抑郁量表、他人作为羞耻感量表、罗森伯格自尊量表以及阳性和阴性症状量表的一般精神病理量表上发现了显著改善。
结果初步表明基于慈悲聚焦疗法原则的小组干预对该人群有效。本文讨论了本研究的结果以及进一步研究的意义。
