| Annotation | Previous psychological interventions aimed at post stroke depression have had limited success. The authors suggest that providing information, encouraging psychological thinking, and raising mood should be included in strategies when setting up a group for people with long-term chronic conditions such as stroke. The authors examine their own attempts to incorporate these three elements in different formats. A fourth approach is also suggested: the discovery of meaning. Although group work with patients has been found to be effective with depressed adults and with older people, results with previous groups for stroke patients have had mixed results. (RH). |
