Background & Objective: Generalized anxiety disorder is a chronic and debilitating disorder that manifests itself in the form of excessive and uncontrollable worry. Numerous biological and psychological factors can cause and perpetuate this disorder. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of integrated therapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion on positive metaemotions in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.
Materials and Methods: The research method was semi-experimental and was conducted in the form of a pre-test-post-test design including two intervention groups and a control group. The target population in this study was all patients with generalized anxiety disorder referred to counseling centers in Mashhad in 2023. From this population, 45 patients were selected by convenience sampling and divided into three groups of 15 people and randomly assigned to two intervention groups and a control group, which was reduced to 13 people during the intervention. The positive metaemotions scale of Beer and Monta (2010) was used to collect data, and meta diagnostic therapy sessions were conducted for 10 sessions and self-compassion therapy sessions were conducted for the intervention groups. No intervention was performed for the control group. Covariance analysis test and SPSS-25 software were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that integrated psychotherapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion have a significant effect on positive metaemotions. (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Given the nature of integrated psychotherapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion, these two therapeutic methods are recommended to increase positive metaemotions.
