Q

Shapiro et al. ( ) - method

A
117 patients 
Diagnosis of depression 
Randomly assigned to 
- 8-session CBT

- 16-session CBT 
- 15-session PIT

CB and PI were equally effective, irrespective of depression severity or duration of treatment.

But patients with relatively severe depression improved substantially more after 16 than 8 sessions

19
Q

Stiles et al. (2008) - method

A

32 NHS primary care services

5613 patients

399 therapists

Routine NHS data

Not a trial, so no randomisation

20
Q

Stiles et al. (2008) - results

A

Reliable and clinically significant improvement of those who competed the treatment was 55-60%

No reliable change happened in 20%

21
Q

Cuijpers et al. (2008)

A

Meta-analysis of 53 outcome studies for depression

No difference between CBT and the other therapies

22

Not much difference between different therapies
Data is not strong enough to recommend the superiority of one therapy over another for depression
