  • Summary

    This chapter describes evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches for adults with depressive disorders. We focus on the most recognized, contemporary evidence-based psychotherapies for depression including: traditional and newer forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (defined broadly), interpersonal psychotherapy, brief dynamic psychotherapy and supportive psychotherapy. We summarize the findings on the extent to which these psychotherapies promote response, remission, relapse prevention, and recovery in adults and that permit these psychotherapies to be termed “evidence based.” Effect sizes are reported, allowing the reader to grasp quickly the efficacy of each psychotherapy used as a solitary treatment. We highlight current trends and future possibilities that may expand understanding of depressive disorders and increase access to effective psychotherapy for adults with depressive disorders.
