β¦ Synopsis
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured cognitive-behavioral group intervention designed by Verona Gordon to reduce depression in women. An experimental three group pretest and posttest design was used. Women were randomly assigned to the structured and support groups. The structured group was found to be significantly more effective in reducing depression, hopelessness, anxiety, and improving self-esteem than either the support or untreated control groups.
