Abstract:
Many psychotherapeutic approaches have been developed for depression, among which behavioral and cognitive therapies have shown their effectiveness. These short-term therapies quickly improve symptoms and reduce the relapse rate by around 30%. This article reviews the main studies of behavioral and cognitive therapy in depressed patients. The results are discussed in terms of acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy. The study protocols, psychiatric symptoms, and endpoints are described. There is now a need to identify which patients are most likely to respond to these treatments.
