Pharmacological and Social Skills for Unipolar (Non-Psychotic) Depression

摘要

The efficacy of social skills training plus amitriptyline, social skills training plus placebo, amitriptyline, and psychotherapy plus placebo were comparatively evaluated in unipolar (non-psychotic) depressed women. The results indicate that each of the four treatments brought about marked changes in depressive symptomatology in particular and neurotic symptomatology in general during the 12 weeks of initial treatment. Similar data were obtained when evaluating initial treatment and maintenance treatment combined.
