    Interpersonal problem-solving training improved impulse control, self-esteem, and competence in psychiatric patients. Play-reading also reduced depression, showing group activities benefit mental health.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Interpersonal problem-solving deficits are common in psychiatric populations.
    • Developing effective coping strategies is crucial for mental health recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of interpersonal problem-solving skills training.
    • To compare its effects against a placebo (play-reading) and a control group.

    Main Methods:

    • Adult psychiatric patients were assigned to problem-solving groups, play-reading groups, or a control group.
    • The problem-solving groups engaged in structured sessions focusing on problem identification, clarification, solution generation, and evaluation.
    • Outcomes were assessed using analyses of covariance.

    Main Results:

    • Problem-solving training significantly improved impulse control, self-esteem, and feelings of competence compared to control and placebo conditions.
    • Both problem-solving and play-reading groups showed significant reductions in depression and general psychopathology.
    • Control patients exhibited less improvement than those in the active intervention groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Structured interpersonal problem-solving training is an effective therapeutic intervention for enhancing specific psychological skills.
    • Group-based activities, including less structured ones like play-reading, can also yield positive mental health outcomes, particularly in reducing depression.
