Abstract :

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of positive group and individual intervention on on the  depressive of foster care/irresponsible parenting adolescent girls under the surveillance of Welfare Organization and Relief Committee. For this purpose 45 subjects were selected by purposeful sampling from among foster care/irresponsible parenting adolescent girls’ care centers and were divided into three groups (individual , 15), (group, 15), (control, 15). The experimental groups received six ninety-minute sessions of positive-based psychotherapy sessions from Positive Psychological Intervention (PPI) of Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi (47), but the control group did not receive any intervention. The subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory before and after the intervention and one month later at follow-up phase. The gathered data were analyzed using the ANCOVA statistical method. The results of the analysis indicated that the positive training on the individual group reduced the emotional symptoms of the subjects compared to the other two groups (P<0/01). However, in the follow-up phase this effect was sustained. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that positive interventions can be used to improve symptoms of persistent depressive.
