| Objective:To investigate the effects of aided mental intervention on the mental defense mode of patients with depression.Methods:Eighty-five cases of depression were divided into observation group and control group randomly,both of the two groups were treated by systematic antidepressant drugs, and the observation group was subjected to aided cognitive behavior mental intervention.Both groups were tested by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) before,and 3 months and 6 months after treatment.Both groups were assessed by Defensive Style Questionnaire (DSQ) before and 6 months after treatment.Results:Three and 6 months posttreatment,the HAMD scores in both groups were reduced as compared with those pretreatment,and the scores in observation group were significantly lower than in control group (P<0.01).Immaturity factor and cover factor scores in observation group were significantly lower than in control group, and maturation factor scores in observation group were significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05,or P<0.01).Conclusion:Aided mental intervention can effectively change the mental defense mode of the patients with depression,and improve the depression state. |
