| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
This study examined the effectiveness of two treatments, individual cognitive psychotherapy and cognitive bibliotherapy, for depression in older adults. The individual cognitive psychotherapy involved 16 sessions of psychotherapy (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979) and the bibliotherapy involved reading Feeling Good (Burns, 1980). Participants were community residing older adults age 60 or over who volunteered for the study. Forty-six depressed older adults met inclusion criteria and began the study. After completing the pretreatment assessment, participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: immediate treatment individual cognitive psychotherapy, immediate treatment bibliotherapy, or a 4-week delayed treatment control group. Participants assigned to the immediate treatment groups began treatment after the initial assessment, whereas participants in the delayed treatment group returned 4 weeks later for an additional pretreatment assessment. Thirty-one participants completed the treatment and 25 remained in the study after post-treatment through the 3 month follow-up..
