Psychological treatment of depression: cognitive behavioural therapy.
Psychotherapy is preferred over pharmacotherapy in many instances of depression, either because of side-effects or overdose concerns, or because of the patient's choice. Psychologists are most likely to provide a course of cognitive therapy for depressed individuals. This paper offers a brief description of treatment results, rationale for therapy, and the elements of therapy.
