The new therapeutic approach of positive psychotherapy has successfully treated severe mental disorders such as depression and mood disorders. However, existing research has not sufficiently measured the usefulness of this treatment in reducing depression and alexithymia.
This study thus examined the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy in reducing these two conditions in a specific population: Iranian women applying for the divorce.
A total of 40 participants aged 20-40 with a high score in the Beck Depression Inventory and Toronto Alexithymia Questionnaire were recruited from women referred to a psychology clinic for divorce-related problems. The pretest, posttest, and follow-up were conducted with all participants, who were randomly placed in two groups: the experimental and control groups, which each consisted of 20 people. We provided eight positive psychotherapy sessions for only the experimental group.
After MANCOVA was conducted, the results showed that positive psychotherapy significantly decreased alexithymia and depression in the test population.
积极心理治疗这种新的治疗方法已成功治疗了诸如抑郁症和情绪障碍等严重精神疾病。然而,现有研究尚未充分衡量这种治疗方法在减轻抑郁和述情障碍方面的效用。
因此,本研究考察了积极心理治疗在减轻特定人群(申请离婚的伊朗女性)的这两种状况方面的有效性。
从因离婚相关问题前往心理诊所咨询的女性中招募了40名年龄在20至40岁之间、在贝克抑郁量表和多伦多述情障碍问卷中得分较高的参与者。对所有参与者进行了前测、后测和随访,并将他们随机分为两组:实验组和对照组,每组各有20人。我们仅为实验组提供了八次积极心理治疗疗程。
在进行协方差分析后,结果显示积极心理治疗显著降低了测试人群的述情障碍和抑郁程度。
