Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive intervention based on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy on reducing the negative symptoms of substance-induced psychosis patients. Research method: The method of this research was semi-experimental and a pre-test-post-test design was used along with a control group of three groups. In order to be more sure for the current research, 15 people are selected in each group. From the mentioned statistical population, in order to select the participants, volunteers who have the criteria to enter the research were selected and after the pre-test stage in a common meeting, they were randomly divided into three groups of 15 people for experiment 1 (mindfulness therapy), experiment 2 (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and the control group were replaced. The tool for collecting information was the scale of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia by Kay, Fisbein and Oppler (1986) and the protocol of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness was the protocol of cognitive behavioral therapy. Findings: It shows that these variables have a significant effect on the average score of negative symptoms. That is, the average score of negative symptoms in the control group and the first and second experiments in the post-test phase after removing the previous effects has a significant difference. Conclusion: The results showed that both methods are effective in reducing the negative symptoms of drug-induced psychosis patients, so these methods can be used to reduce negative symptoms.
