研究概览
简要总结
The study will throw light on the processes that are bringing change in an Indian psychology based psychotherapy called Sattva enhancement therapy for common mental disorders.
The processes of the therapy will be studied using qualitative assessment tools while the outcome of the intervention will be studied using quantitative tools administered on patients pre and post intervention. The caregivers of the patients will also be approached for obtaining information on the patient’s improvement.
Given that the process- based research is essential for informing the researchers and clinicians in what is helpful for the client in a particular psychotherapy, studying the processes in Sattva enhancement therapy can further lead to more modification and adaption based on the study findings.
This will help to refine and strengthen the intervention, and creating more scope for it to undergo comparison and effectiveness studies in larger clinical samples in the future.
