Time perspective therapy, by altering individuals' perception of time, helps them establish a better balance between their past, present, and future, thereby distancing them from negative experiences. In contrast, positive therapy enhances psychological well-being by strengthening individuals' capabilities and increasing positive emotions. Although both approaches have shown effectiveness individually, there is insufficient research on the integration of these approaches and the potential synergistic effects on depressed patients.
