Participants in the intervention group will first be given face-to-face individual interviews to establish the therapeutic environment and relationship (Individual interviews are designed as orientation, diagnosis and planning stages, 30-minute interviews). Then, three intervention stages (40-minute, group therapy) will be applied and the last session will be both intervention (post-test application) and termination stage (completion of emotion-focused therapy application). After the individual interviews, individuals will be included in 3 intervention sessions as group training. It is planned that each group will have at least 4 and at most 6 people. If the specified number cannot be reached, the study will continue until the specified number is reached.

Emotion-focused therapy contributes to the treatment compliance and functionality of psychiatric patients.
