Treatment for chronic depression : cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP)
"This volume describes the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), a research-based psychotherapeutic approach designed to motivate chronically depressed patients to change and help them develop needed problem-solving and relationship skills. Integrating elements of cognitive behavioral and interpersonal therapy, CBASP has been shown to be as effective as medication treatment in a 12-site national study with 681 chronically depressed outpatients. Even more significant, a combination of CBASP and pharmacotherapy produced a response rate of 85% - unprecedented for any large-scale randomized clinical trial of its kind - and demonstrated for the first time the superiority of combination treatment for chronic depression to either psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy alone."--Jacket
