Keywords:
Cognitive behaviour therapy, Composite savoring index, Combo package of CBT and CSI, Moderate Depression and Positive Psychology InterventionAbstract
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the most reliable and proven treatment for patients with various psychological disorders. A significant number of researches revealed that CBT with antidepressants showed significant lower number of relapse than the pharmacotherapy group. However, despite the significant role of efficacy of CBT for depression, its role in order to prevent relapse is not clear. On the other hand, positive psychological intervention has also been instrumental to enhance well-being but there is scarcity of scientific literature regarding the treatment of clinical depression. Therefore, there is a strong need for the development of a combo package of CBT and Positive psychological interventions for the treatment of depression. Keeping this into view, the aim of the present study is to explore the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy in combination with savoring in moderate depression. Methodology: For this purpose, a 4X6 factorial design was made. Here four types of therapies were given to patients with moderate depression like pharmacotherapy, CBT, Composite savoring index and combo package of CBT and Composite savoring index. All these four groups were tested under six phases.
