Randomized controlled trial reduced rumination and self-doubt in women with depression, suggesting ISTDP as a viable therapy.

ISTDP led to significant reductions in both rumination and self-doubt among participants who experienced partner infidelity.
Rumination scores decreased significantly from 62.40 to 48.20 in the ISTDP group, with p < .001 indicating strong effects.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 women aged 25 to 45 who met DSM-5 criteria for mild to moderate depression.
These results highlight the effectiveness of ISTDP, suggesting it may serve as a culturally adaptable intervention for relational trauma.

Dehnayebi et al. (2025) studied this question.
