Abstract
In this preliminary research, the effectiveness of Positive Psychotherapy was compared to a quasi-experimental behavioral therapy. Participants were patients diagnosed with depression at Remigio Sapunar Centre in Arica, Chile. Depressive symptoms and life satisfaction were assessed using BDI (Beck, 1979), CES-D (Radloff, 1977) and Life Satisfaction Scale (Cuadra, 2002). Findings shown significant means differences between pre and post measures in the positive therapy group. Also, a clear pattern was observed in the methods, highlighting the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy over behavioral therapy.
