Value | Example |
---|---|
Fidelity | The participants valued the book substantially, by rating it and its separate chapters as highly useful (27). |
Autonomy | Our study demonstrated that structured group reading activities may exert some positive influence on clinical symptomatology and cognitive and psychosocial functioning in patients with psychosis (22) |
Liberty | The main prison population may be less defensive about the topic in that they have more freedom and, therefore, can benefit more from the principles of rational growth (20) |
Equality | Our findings strongly support the theoretical notions of the existence of distinct types of sexual difficulty, associated with different personal and relational characteristics (17). |
Respect | Individual empowerment, which is one of the aims of bibliotherapy, contributes to the development of problem-solving skills and increases self-esteem and self-efficacy (19). |
Tolerance | The CSPSB also experienced a greater reduction in negative appraisals of caregiving and more positive experiences of family relationships/communication with their FEP relative than the UOFS group (11). |
Interest | The findings are also supported by several researchers who emphasize the importance of individuals who are engaged in “self-help” treatment having telephone contact with mental health workers, particularly in rural settings (10). |
Love | The results nonetheless suggested that the intervention might be effective in reducing the number and frequency of self-harm episodes, with simultaneous reduction in depressive symptoms (21). |
Service attitude | The 5-month CSPSB demonstrated very positive effects on family caregiving at 12-month follow-up (22). |
Charity | Contact with the clinician was repeatedly identified as being valued and is consistent with the previous studies (24). |
Purity | These participants appeared “ready to change” and were motivated enough to initiate some self-change as a result of being involved in a research study. The extended contact (i.e., follow-up interviews) have also contributed to the maintenance of their motivation (26). |
