Abstract:
The field of psychotherapies has in general widely evolved for these ten last years in France and more in depressive disorders treatment, namely owing to short structured therapies development and especially cognitive-behaviour therapies well fitted for controlled studies assessment. Pyschoanalytically oriented psychotherapies have also changed but not so much and they still remain less efficacious in this area. Henceforth the numerous technicals of this kind of therapy will be modified in the eclective and integrative approach; they must not be compared in opposition one another but used in a collaborative way on the basis of scientific data in order to make them more effective. So some very exciting prospects are open in the future of that field of research. Practically, nowadays the best outcomes are obtained in the association of both antidepressant drugs and cognitive-behavior psychotherapy.
