Method: Six subjects (two males and four females) were selected by convenient sampling and were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. The methodology was a multiple-baseline experi-�mental single case study. Subjects completed Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) and Depression- Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS) at pre-treatment (baseline), treatment (4 and 8 sessions),  post-treat-ment (twelfth session), and at follow-up (two months after treatment). Also, subjects completed the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS), and the Internal-External Control Scale (IECS) at pre-treat-ment (baseline) and post-treatment (twelfth session). Results: The results revealed that both Beck’s and Teasdale cognitive therapies were effective in decreasing dysthymic symptoms that was more prominent with the latter method. Conclusion: Teasdale’s cognitive therapy can be more effective than Beck’s in reducing dysthymic symptoms. }, URL = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-68-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-68-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, doi = {}, year = {2005} }
