  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.

  ،The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of group interventions and compare the efficacy of behavioral group therapy, cognitive group therapy and cognitive-behavioral group therapy in social anxiety disorder by using meta-analysis method based on the Hunter and  Schmidt approach. Forty seven studies which were accepted methodologically and conducted within the last 20 years in Iran were included in the meta-analysis. The checklist of meta-analysis with 1743 participants and 51 effect sizes were used. The results indicated that the effect size of the group interventions on social anxiety disorder was 0.62, and this was true of children, adolescents and adults groups. The effect size of behavioral group therapy, cognitive group therapy, and cognitive-behavioral group therapy were 0.59, 0.69, and 0.68, respectively. This study suggested that the effect size of group interventions on social anxiety disorder was large, and this was true of all age groups. Although all group therapies were effective, the efficacy of cognitive group therapy and cognitive-behavioral group therapy were more than behavioral group therapy.   Manuscript profile
