摘要

This issue contains one review of randomized trials of behaviour therapy for depression and two commentaries. Five papers examine various aspects of depression and suicide, five report findings from intervention trials and three examine aspects of psychosis. In the first paper, Ekers et al. (pp. 611-623) report findings from a meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials (RCT), involving 1109 subjects, of behaviour therapy (BT) for depression. They found that in terms of symptom levels post-treatment, BTs were more effective than control interventions, brief psychotherapy, and supportive therapy, and equal to cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). The authors conclude that BT is an effective treatment for depression.
