Aim and Background: Depression is one of the most common disorders among women. Various approaches have been developed for the treatment of depression, but in recent studies, a high correlation has been seen between schemas and various variables related to depression. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of schema therapy in online versus in-person counseling on improving depression, interpersonal relationships, and maladaptive schemas in the domain of disconnection and rejection among women.
Methods and Materials: This study was conducted in a quasi-experimental way with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. 45 people participated in this study. The statistical population of the current study included all women suffering from depression who contacted the psychology clinic for treatment. First, 45 people were selected based on the criteria for entering the study and using the available method. Then the participants were randomly placed in three control groups: online and face-to-face counseling, and each group of 15. Before and after the intervention, all participants filled out a depression questionnaire, a primary maladaptive schema, and an interpersonal problems questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the covariance method.
Findings: The findings showed that the changes in grades were more in the face-to-face group, and the effectiveness of face-to-face schema therapy on depression variables, interpersonal relationships, deficit/shame schemas, mistrust/abuse, emotional deprivation, abandonment/instability, and social isolation/alienation were greater than in the online group (<0.01).
Conclusions: According to the research findings, face-to-face and online schema therapy are effective on depression, interpersonal relationships, and schemas.
