Abstract

This study was performed with the main goal of investigating the efficacy of Cognitive group therapy based on schema- focused in reduction of the depressive sings in students. present study is an applied and quasi-experimental type (with Non-equivalent attention control group design). The study’s statistic social include all of the girl student of mohaghegh ardabili university, that educated in 88-89 year, and suffered depression .depression while prevalence estimated about %15, and in the woman %25. Because of all girl student to contend 4000 persons, and depression prevalence to contend %15 , so all statistic social estimated 600 persons. the subjects were selected by using convenient sampling method from the girl students of mohaghegh ardabili university , who that score’s between 19-29 in the beck depression inventory , 26 subjects selected and replaced in the experimental group and the attention control group. Then , the Young Schema Questionnaire- short form(YSQ)with a reliability ratio 0/94 ,and the Beck depression inventory with a reliability ratio 0/86 were performed as pre-test for each group. Then the experimental group was subjected to the intervention of Cognitive group therapy based on schema- focused therapy approach . After a 10-session treatment (each session being 90 minutes, twice at the week) the Young Schema Questionnaire (short form) and the beck depression inventory were repeated as post-test in both groups. The results of statistical analysis with multivariate variance tests and Independent samples test showed that cognitive group therapy based on schema- focused therapy approach in comparison with attention control group would significantly reduce the total score in YSQ(p<0/000). The result of multivariate tests separately about each of early maladaptive schemas showed that the treatment effective significantly in reduce early maladaptive schemas score except social isolation/ alienation(p>0/057) and enmeshment / undeveloped (p>0/074). also the result of independent samples test showed significantly difference in reduce depression scores in experimental group than attention control group after treatment . either the result of multivariate regression analysis showed that the unrelenting standards / hyper criticalness and entitlement / grandiosity and emotional deprivation can explaining %65 of depression variance by used of beck inventory.
