Psychotherapy, depression, efficacy of outcomesAbstract
The present status of psychotherapeutic treatment for depression is examined, especially the impact of the four types of psychotherapy that have been best tested
empirically in the past 10 years: interpersonal therapy, cognitive and behavioral therapies, and brief psychodynamic therapy. Both the main efficacy studies of those therapies as well as a meta-analytic review of their results are described. The conclusion is that there is strong evidence of favorable outcome when ambulatorial unipolar depression is treated by psychosocial interventions, in isolation or in combination with pharmacotherapy.
