Abstract
- The general efficacy of psychotherapeutic approaches in the treatment of mental disorders has been demonstrated by meta-analyses. Disorder-specific methods are increasingly dominating the field. In the field of depression psychological interventions have proven to be as equally effective as pharmacotherapy in mild and moderate depressives but with longer lasting effects after termination of treatment. The combination of both methods is particularly relevant for the therapy of severe and chronic depression. The indications should be differentiated beyond the severity and course of the disorder, e.g. according to previous traumatization, comorbidity, patient difficulty and the empirical evidence of the different approaches.
