The data analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that narrative-therapy in the post-test phase significantly increased the presence-of-meaning in the intervention group compared to the control group. This difference was still significant in the follow-up. Regarding the search-of-meaning component, the groups did not show a significant difference in any of the stages.
