We tested group interventions for women with a Turkish migration background living in Austria and suffering from recurrent depression. N = 66 participants were randomized to: (1) Self-Help Groups (SHG), (2) Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Groups, and (3) a Wait-List (WL) Control condition. Neither SHG nor CBT were superior to WL. On an individual basis, about one third of the participants showed significant improvements with respect to symptoms of depression. Younger women, women with a longer duration of stay in Austria and those who had encountered a higher number of traumatic experiences, showed increased improvement of depressive symptoms. The results suggest that individual treatment by ethnic, female psychotherapists should be preferred to group interventions.
我们对生活在奥地利且患有复发性抑郁症、有土耳其移民背景的女性进行了团体干预测试。66名参与者被随机分为:(1)自助小组(SHG),(2)认知行为疗法(CBT)小组,以及(3)等待名单(WL)对照条件组。自助小组和认知行为疗法小组均不优于等待名单组。就个体而言,约三分之一的参与者在抑郁症状方面有显著改善。年轻女性、在奥地利停留时间较长的女性以及经历过较多创伤性经历的女性,其抑郁症状改善程度更高。结果表明,由具有相同种族背景的女性心理治疗师进行个体治疗应优于团体干预。
