Background It is unclear what session frequency most effective in cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for depression. Aims Compare the effects of once weekly twice sessions CBT IPT Method We conducted a multicentre randomised trial from November 2014 through December 2017. recruited 200 adults with depression across nine specialised mental health centres Netherlands. This study used 2 × factorial design, randomising patients to or over 16–24 weeks, up...
Objective: Optimizing treatment selection may improve outcomes in depression. A promising approach is the Personalized Advantage Index (PAI), which predicts optimal for a given individual. To determine generalizability of PAI, models needs to be externally validated, has rarely been done.Method: PAI were developed within each two independent trials, with substantial between-study differences, that both compared CBT and IPT depression (STEPd: n = 151 FreqMech: 200). Subsequently, tested other...
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal (IPT) are among the most well established therapies for treatment of depression. However, some major questions remain unanswered. First, it is unknown what session frequency results in optimal (cost) effectiveness psychotherapy. Second, debate as to mechanisms underlie effect psychotherapy has not yet been resolved. Enhancing knowledge about change seems crucial order optimize This study aims compare outcome twice-weekly versus once-weekly...
Mental imagery has long been part of cognitive behavioural therapies. More recently, a resurgence interest emerged for prospective mental imagery, i.e. future-directed imagery-based thought, and its relation to reward processing, motivation behaviour in the context depression.We conducted selective review on role impact processing reward-motivated depression.Based current literature, we propose conceptual mechanistic model imagery. Prospective engaging positive activities can increase...
Although psychotherapy is an effective treatment for depression, a large number of patients still do not receive care according to the protocols that are used in clinical trials. Instead, often modified version original intervention. It clear how and when or Dutch specialized mental health whether these changes lead suboptimal adherence protocols. In context ongoing multicenter trial investigates twice-weekly sessions protocolized interpersonal (IPT) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)...

Method: effects skill acquisition ( n = 36) were compared no skills, dysfunctional thinking, distress, mood in response induced distress following social stress test healthy participants. Results: Participants reported...
The Personalized Advantage Index (PAI) is a method to guide treatment selection by investigating which of two or more treatments optimal for given individual. Recently, it was shown that, on average, twice-weekly sessions psychotherapy depression lead better outcomes compared once-weekly sessions. present study applied the PAI assess if subgroups patients may have differential response frequency.Data came from clinical trial (n = 200) randomizing depressed into different session frequencies:...
Behavioral activation (BA) is an effective and efficacious treatment for depression. Activity scheduling the central component of BA involves planning potentially enjoyable rewarding activities. Evidence from non-clinical studies suggests that mental imagery simulations planned activities can increase motivation anticipated pleasure these
Cost-effective treatments are needed to reduce the burden of depression. One way improve cost-effectiveness psychotherapy might be increase session frequency, but keep total number sessions constant.To evaluate twice-weekly compared with once-weekly after 12 months, from a societal perspective.An economic evaluation was conducted alongside randomised controlled trial comparing versus (cognitive-behavioural therapy or interpersonal psychotherapy) for Missing data were handled by multiple...
Using data from 202 patients with depression, the authors conducted a psychometric evaluation of Dutch translation Competencies Cognitive Therapy Scale-Self-Report and an initial newly developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy Skills Scale-Self-Report.
Twice weekly sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for major depressive disorder (MDD) lead to less drop-out quicker better response compared once at posttreatment, but it is unclear whether these effects hold over the long run.
<sec xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1"> <title>Background</title> To improve psychological treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD), a better understanding on how symptoms ameliorate during treatment is essential. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), it unclear whether procedures focused the acquisition of CBT skills play causal role in improvement skills. this randomized trial, we isolate single Skill Acquisition Procedure (CBTSAP) and test its direct effects related...
