Interpersonal Relationship Questionnaire (FIAT – Q) was used to measure the various dimensions of Interpersonal Relationship such as assertion of needs, bi-directional communication, conflict, interpersonal closeness, and emotional expression that contribute to the interpersonal relationship functioning. They underwent 20 psychotherapy sessions which was focussed on resilient training and improving coping skills over a period of 10 weeks. Pre and Post test scores of the samples were statistically analysed using paired sample t-test.
