And it used Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), Symptom (SCL-90)Rating Scale and Subjective Symptom Evaluation Table created as tool to test the effects of the treatment. On the condition of single subject or small N in experimental research, applying Multiple-baseline design, implement intervention on depressive disorder with metacognition intervention to assess the changes of indicators in the process of experiment and test the long-term effects.Results: All indicators of the three subjects in the baseline observation are stable. After interventions, 3 subjects'depression experience, interpersonal sensitivity experience, learning efficiency and sleep disorder evaluation generally reduce and remained stable; the declined rate of the HAMD total scores are more than 50%, the effective rate of the psychological intervention is 100%, and 2 cases of them were completely cured (post-treatment HAMD total scores are less than or equal with 8); depression factor of SCL -90 were reduced to below the threshold, and showed no symptoms of depression.
