积极心理治疗（PPT）通过增加积极情绪，参与和意义而不是直接针对抑郁症状，与抑郁症的标准干预措施形成对比。作者在各种环境中测试了这些干预措施的效果。在非正式的学生和临床环境中，人们并不罕见地报告他们是“改变生活”。“在网络上，积极心理学练习与安慰剂干预相比，至少缓解了6个月的抑郁症状，其效果持续不到一周。在重度抑郁症患者中，这些网络练习的效果尤其显著。该地址报告了两项初步研究：第一项研究中，通过1年的随访，PPT显著降低了轻度至中度抑郁症的水平。在第二个实验中，在患有重度抑郁症的门诊患者中，PPT给个体提供的缓解率高于常规治疗和常规治疗加药物治疗。总之，这些研究表明，抑郁症的治疗可以通过明确增加积极情绪，参与和意义的练习来有效地补充。
Positive psychotherapy (PPT) contrasts with standard interventions for depression by increasing positive emotion, engagement, and meaning rather than directly targeting depressive symptoms. The authors have tested the effects of these interventions in a variety of settings. In informal student and clinical settings, people not uncommonly reported them to be "life-changing." Delivered on the Web, positive psychology exercises relieved depressive symptoms for at least 6 months compared with placebo interventions, the effects of which lasted less than a week. In severe depression, the effects of these Web exercises were particularly striking. This address reports two preliminary studies: In the first, PPT delivered to groups significantly decreased levels of mild-to-moderate depression through 1-year follow-up. In the second, PPT delivered to individuals produced higher remission rates than did treatment as usual and treatment as usual plus medication among outpatients with major depressive disorder. Together, these studies suggest that treatments for depression may usefully be supplemented by exercises that explicitly increase positive emotion, engagement, and meaning.
