Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effects of the Positive Psychotherapy on depressive symptoms and on happiness compared with regular cognitive behavioral therapy
Detailed Description:
Positive Psychotherapy PPT focuses on increasing well-being and positive emotions rather than ameliorating deficits in contrast to standard psychotherapy
A lack of positive emotions engagement and felt meaning are typically viewed as consequences or mere correlates of depression while the PPT suggests that these may be causal for depression Therefore building positive emotion engagement and meaning will alleviate depression
Thus PPT may offer a new way to treat and prevent depression
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the Positive Psychotherapy on depressive symptoms life satisfaction and happiness in comparison to standard cognitive behavior psychotherapy regular cognitive behavioral therapy
60 mildly to moderately depressed patients are randomly assigned to the Positive Psychotherapy group or the regular cognitive behavioral therapy group
Both treatments primary intervention group and control group are conducted in an outpatient group therapy setting with 14 sessions and a duration of 2-hours-per-week in small groups of 6 or 7 patients
