| Abstract | Previous studies have shown that paradoxical directives are effective in decreasing depression over time but, in general, found that they were no better than nonparadoxical directives. Subjects in the studies were mildly to moderately depressed college students who were not assessed on reactance level. This study examined the differential effects of paradoxical reframing versus paradoxical restraining directives in high- or low-reactant clients (N=67) from a clinical population who experienced moderate to severe depression. High- and low-reactant clients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: a paradoxical reframing directive condition, a paradoxical restraining directive condition, or a pseudo-therapy control group. Treatment involved five sessions with a counselor. A follow-up session occurred approximately 4 to 6 weeks after treatment ended. Results showed that subjects in all conditions significantly reduced their depression. There were no differential effects due to treatment condition or reactance level. Subjects in the control condition felt significantly more in control of their depression at follow-up than did subjects in the two paradoxical interventions. All subjects felt significantly better able to cope with their depression at follow-up. Findings have implications for the compliance-defiance model. (Author) |
