Abstract

Introduction: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders that will become the world's second largest by 2020. Aim: To compare the effects of psychodrama and cognitive group therapy and their combination on depression and purpose of seeking admission among patients with major depression. Method: The study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test and with control and experimental group. The statistical population of the study was major depressive patients (Razi and Lavasani Hospitals in Tehran). 40 patients were selected randomly and were randomly assigned into three groups. Twelve sessions of intervention were held according to the classical psycho-pacific protocol and Frei's cognitive therapy group. Beck Depression Inventory (2007) and Cohen Coaching Inventory Questionnaire (2012) were applied to them. In the analysis of data, one-variable covariance analysis and Tukey's post hoc test were used. Results: There were significant differences between the three groups in depression scores and amortization intention (sig < 0.001). Conclusion: The findings showed that all three interventions were effective in decreasing the rate of depression and increasing the level of intention seeking, but cognitive group therapy was more effective in decreasing depression and psychodrama.
