- Abstract
Response levels of 92 depressed subjects with differing demographic profiles to a standardized small-group CBT intervention were examined. Findings were based on combined groups wherein adults participated in 12 two-hour skill building sessions conducted in 8-week periods. Participants were assessed for levels of depression, hopelessness, anxiety, and social adjustment at pre- and post-test, and 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following treatment. The intervention was effective in the treatment of unipolar depression for all groups, and demographic variables were found to have various significant functional relationships with treatment outcome. Gender combined with marital status, and the separate results of education level, employment status, and income level all indicate different treatment effects.
