Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of individual and group cognitive-behavioral therapy on adolescents’ depression. The research design was the pre-test and post-test experimental research with control group and follow up. For these purposes, 26 adolescents with depression were randomly selected and assigned to three groups of individual: cognitive-behavioral therapy, group cognitive-behavioral therapy and control group. Depression Questionnaire for Children and depression diagnostic interview were used to assess the extent of depression. The results showed that individual and group cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly affected reducing signs of depression in post-test and in follow up stages. But it did not reveal any significant difference between individual and group therapy in post-test and in follow up. Generally, the results of this research indicated that individual and group cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in reducing adolescents’ depression and they can be used as a clinical intervention by specialists.
