Abstract
Introduction: Research has shown that different psychological approaches have been performed in relation to perceived social support, so the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positivist psychotherapy and reality therapy on perceived social support of addicts under treatment. Material and Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental research in terms of applied purpose and methodology. The statistical population of this study included all addicts treated in addiction treatment clinics in Kerman in 1399. Among them, 45 people were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into experimental groups of positive psychotherapy, reality therapy and control group (15 people in each). In the pre-test stage, the samples answered the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (Zimet et al., 1988). Then the protocol of 8 sessions of positivist psychotherapy Quilliam (2003) and the protocol of 8 sessions of reality therapy Soleimani and Babaei (2016) were performed on the experimental groups. Then, in the post-test stage, they answered the questionnaire again. After collecting data, the research hypothesis was answered using SPSS-23 statistical software and analysis of covariance (ANCOA). Results: The results showed that positivist psychotherapy was 60% effective and reality therapy was 31% effective on perceived social support. Conclusion: The authorities of addiction treatment centers are recommended to use positive psychotherapy to increase the perceived social support of addicts under treatment.
