Abstract：Objective To establish and evaluate the structural of Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy manual in patients with mild depression.Methods The structural Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy manual for mild depression,dysthymia and minor depression patients was compiled through lit-erature retrieval and preparation of clinical practice.Depressive symptoms before and after treatment, performance of patients in group (attendance rate,dropped-out rate,homework compliance,commit-ment to the group)and subjective evaluation of patients on the treatment were used to evaluate the feasi-bility of the manual.Results The structural of Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy manual in this study included being acquainted with mild depression,understanding the relationship between cognition and e-motion,identifying the core beliefs,learning cognitive reconstruction and the technology of changing core beliefs,setting up reasonable life goals,establishing a support system,preventing recurrence and future management and so on.Depressive symptoms were significantly relieved after the treatment,the total effective rate was 67.0%,the dropped-out rate was 9.3%.Attendance rate,homework compli-ance,commitment to the group and acceptance degree of the patients were high,and the overall impres-sion of patients toward this treatment was quite good.The high attendance rate was 72.2%,average homework completion rate was 84.8%,95.0% of the patients committed to the group.At the end of treatment,98.9% of the patients accepted this treatment,94.3% of the patients overall impression was good.Conclusions The feasibility of structural Cognitive Behavioral Group Treatment program is high, and can be further promoted in relevant medical institutions.
