Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of experiential-dynamic emotion regulation and mindful self-compassionate Eclectic Therapy in reducing core shame, increasing self-compassion and reducing depression severity in patients with introjective depression.  This was a single subject study with pretest-posttest design with a 45-day follow-up. The study participants included individuals diagnosed with depression in 2019 at Shiraz University Counseling and Psychotherapy Clinic. The individuals scored above 20 in Beck’s Depression Inventory II and finally, 3 individuals were selected as sample group with purposive sampling method given the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Internalized Shame Scale (ISS), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and BDI-2 were used for each individual in the pretest-posttest phase, and finally integrative therapy for 8 sessions of 45 minutes was administered. Data were analyzed using charting and effect size method. The effect size changes in treatment interventions were larger than 0.5. Hence, Experiential-Dynamic Emotion Regulation and Mindful Self-Compassionate Eclectic Therapycan be used as a novel intervention to reduce the severity of introjective depression
