Two Measures

In outpatients with recurrent major depression who failed to respond to acute treatment with antidepressant medication, this study compared the effects of follow-up treatment with cognitive therapy with those of follow-up treatment with medication. In the small number of patients treated, there were some indications of response to cognitive therapy. A greater number of patients responded at least partially to cognitive therapy according to one of the two response criteria, and mean scores on two measures of depression changed to a greater extent with cognitive therapy than with continued medication. Results are consistent with previous studies, but replication is required due to the small numbers involved. The potential implications for provision of treatment are discussed.

Treatment Of Depression

Twenty-four outpatients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for major depression were assigned to group behavioural-cognitive therapy either with or without antidepressant medication (imipramine). Eighteen patients completed 15 weekly sessions of treatment. Equivalent improvement was observed in both regimens after treatment. The results essentially maintained at six months follow-up. This suggests that a group format of behavioural-cognitive therapy is a viable therapeutic intervention for outpatients diagnosed as suffering from major depression. However, the addition of imipramine to group behavioural-cognitive therapy did not enhance the outcome.
