β¦ Synopsis
The efficacy of a focused education and psychotherapy program (FEPP) plus antidepressant was compared with that of usual psychosocial treatment and antidepressant in a general practice setting. The FEPP comprised interpersonal counselling (IPC) delivered in a modified way to suit the general practice setting, together with patient education and selected cognitive behavioural techniques. All patients were treated with venlafaxine-XR. Thirty-one patients entered the study, three withdrawing before completion of the 12 week trial. Both treatments produced a statistically significant reduction in BDI and POMS scores from baseline, with greater improvement evident in the FEPP plus antidepressant group.
