我们报告的结果，从一个初步的经验性测试的一个基于神经网络的，组治疗方案。在这种情况下，希望被定义为一个认知过程，通过这个过程，个人追求他们的目标[斯奈德，C。居：1994，Free Press，纽约]。因此，八次会议的小组治疗强调建立目标追求技能。结果从一个随机的，等待名单对照试验，使用社区样本（n=32完成者）的报告。参与者接受了结构化诊断访谈（SCID-I），并完成了评估包。参与后评估结果表明，干预与希望，生活意义和自尊的机构组成部分的统计学显着（p < 0.05）改善以及抑郁和焦虑症状的减少相关。这些结果表明，短暂的希望干预可以增加一些心理力量，减少一些精神病理学症状。
We report findings from an initial empirical test of a hope-based, group therapy protocol. In this context, hope is defined as a cognitive process through which individuals pursue their goals [Snyder, C. R.: 1994, Free Press, New York]. As such, the eight-session group treatment emphasized building goal-pursuit skills. Findings from a randomized, wait-list control trial using a community sample (n=32 completers) are reported. Participants underwent structured diagnostic interviews (SCID-I) and completed assessment packets. Post-participation assessment results indicate the intervention was associated with statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvements in the agency component of hope, life meaning, and self-esteem as well as reductions in symptoms of depression and anxiety. These results suggest that a brief hope intervention can increase some psychological strengths and reduce some symptoms of psychopathology.
