Abstract
Electroencephalographic sleep studies were recorded in 31 depressed outpatients before and after successful treatment with interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) alone. All patients were followed clinically for 1 year following remission or until recurrence of depression. Compared to those who remained well, patients who suffered a recurrence had greater night‐to‐night variability in wakefulness and REM latency in the post‐treatment sleep studies. Sleep variables, including night‐to‐night variability, may help to predict acute treatment response and recurrence in patients treated with psychotherapy. Depression 2:105–108 (1994).Keywords
