Using shame resilience to decrease depressive symptoms in an adult intensive outpatient population
1Department of Health Systems Science, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.
Purpose:
The author explores the results of a 12-session therapy to address shame resilience as a mediator of empathy in the treatment of depression.
Design And Methods:
Two instruments (the Beck Depression Inventory-II and the Test of Self-Conscious Awareness 3S) were used as pre-, mid-, and posttest measures given to a group (n = 20) in an intensive outpatient program receiving an intervention to increase shame resilience.
Findings:
A statistical decline in depressive symptoms at both mid- and posttest was noted.
Practice Implications:
Adding shame resilience therapy to traditional psychotherapy may be useful to improve patient adherence and alliance but further evidence is needed.
