| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to design an Islamic cognitive behavioral model that comprises an Islamic theory of depression and Islamic cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-IP) and examine the effectiveness of CBT-IP in treating depressed adults. Data for the current study were obtained from Benghazi, the second largest city in Libya. The participants were selected randomly from two places: Gar Yunis University and the national electric company. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and demographic questionnaire were administered to 449 participants. Furthermore, 75 depressed individuals were randomly selected from the survey sample they had already been diagnosed with primary depression by BDI-II. Data collection involved two phases: a survey that used questionnaires and an intervention (psychotherapy) for depressed people. This research study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches with the researcher conducting a survey and an experiment. For the qualitative portion, the researcher analysed various contents of the sessions, such as homework compliance, clients’ reaction to the intervention and the interaction between the therapist and clients. The experiment used two types of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): one with religious content (CBT-IP; 25 participants) and another with standard protocol (CBT; 25 people) to reduce depression. A group of participants (25 depressed people) were in the waiting list and received no therapy. The findings of the present study reveal that the prevalence of depression among the Libyan population was very high at 68.8%, especially among young adults and females. 60.8% of females were depressed and there was a significant effect of age on depression, particularly for the 18-29 age group. The findings also show that CBT-IP was significantly more effective in reducing depression than CBT and no therapy (waiting list). Finally, the qualitative data showed that CBT-IP participants had good responses to the therapy and a high homework completion rate, used spiritual support a lot, and had good interaction with the therapist. | en_US |
