Abstract
Research has shown that the different psychotherapeutic treatments in depression are equally effective. This could be accounted for by the non-specific factors, which all therapies have in common. On the other hand, too little is known about the effectiveness of the therapies in different groups of patients. Research has shown that the format of the psychotherapies can be changed in several aspects without a reduction in effectiveness.Keywords
