Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Forgiveness is one of the psychological and communicative processes to boost mental health and heal sufferings; it is necessary for communicative, emotional and spiritual growth of human beings and affects most of mental health indicators which are efficient in increasing life satisfaction. Regarding the background studies which show narrative therapy can affect forgiveness; this study tries to gain a new approach to increase the level of forgiveness by investigating the efficiency of narrative therapy on interpersonal motives. The research sample includes 4 patients suffering from major depression disorder (2 males and 2 females) who were under narrative therapy individually in 9 sessions ( on weekly basis); interpersonal motives questionnaires were used in preparatory, second, fourth, sixth and eighth sessions. The results show that narrative therapy has not been able to increase the total score of interpersonal motives (forgiveness) but the results from repeated measurement analysis method (Cohen) shows that from interpersonal motives scales, avoidance has been increased and revenge has been decreased mostly by interference of narrative therapy.
