The Use of Reality Therapy With a Depressed Deaf Adult

Abstract

Although reality therapy has been effective in reducing symptoms of depression in adults, there is little research to support the use of reality therapy with deaf adults.

“…Konuyla ilgili alanyazın incelendiğinde, seçim kuramı ve gerçeklik terapisinin ergenlerin iyilik hali üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmaya ulaşılamamıştır.
