[Psychotherapy of a depressed patient--presentation of treatment modalities].
The article includes a brief introduction to five forms of psychotherapy that are in active use in Finland: psychodynamic, cognitive and group psychotherapy, family therapy of a depressed patient, and resource and solution-oriented working attitude. An advocate of each treatment modality provides a description of the suitability of the particular modality for a depressed patient. Different treatment modalities are not compared as such; the aim is rather to provide clinical thinking tools for the doctor, who considers the patient's suitability for and referral to psychotherapy.
