Resumen
Introduction: Traditionally, evidence-based treatments for depression have focused on clinical symptoms. The combination of positive psychological strategies and traditional approaches has received little empirical attention in clinical settings. Objective: The development and implementation of a positive clinical psychology protocol for depressive symptoms. Method: The protocol was applied in five depressed patients. Depression, anxiety, affect and orientation towards enjoyment were measured at pre-, post-treatment, and at 3-month follow-up. Opinion on the program was also assessed. Results: The intervention was feasible, not only for reducing depression, anxiety and negative affect, but also for increasing positive affect and orientation towards enjoyment. Conclusions: It is important to continue to investigate the development of interventions focusing on both negative and positive aspects of human functioning.
