✦ Synopsis

This study looks at the efficacy of brief focused cognitive-behaviourd group intervention in the treatment of mood disorders in older adults in different diagnostic groups. At 1-year follow-up, out of a total of 27 patients, 70% required no input from the mental health services and also reported that they were 'recovered' and functioning well. When separated into two groups according to the diagnoses on DSM-111-R, 92% of the major depressive episode (MDE) group in contrast to 50% of the other disorders group were discharged and functioning well. This suggests that selection of patients using the DSM-111-R diagnostic method has helped to identify which depressed elderly people benefit most. A tentative link between personality difficulties is proposed as a possible obstacle to therapy. KEY worms-Cognitive therapy, group therapy, depression, elderly, DSM-111-R.
