Assertion training: effectiveness in the treatment of depression

V C Sanchez et al. J Clin Psychol. 1980 Apr.

Abstract

Assigned depressed outpatients (N = 32) to either group assertion training or "traditional" group psychotherapy. The results showed that over a relatively short period of time, assertion training was more effective than traditional psychotherapy in increasing self-reported assertiveness and in alleviating depression.
