The current study examined the efficacy of positive psychotherapy (PPT) on the involuntary clients with symptoms of depression. PPT intervention is aimed at increasing happiness and decreasing the levels of depression. College students with symptoms of depression were randomly assigned to PPT intervention (n = 22) or to a waiting list (n = 36). All participants completed measures before and after the intervention for assessment of depression (CES-D), life satisfaction (SWLS), and positive and negative affect (PANAS). PPT intervention led to a statistically significant reduction in depression symptoms and negative emotions. These findings suggest that a PPT intervention can have effects not only on voluntary clients but also involuntary clients.
