This article reviews the effects of psychological treatments specifically developed for depression. Promising and durable results have been reported for cognitive and interpersonal psychotherapies but also for behavioral psychotherapy, which has generated less research interest so far. The therapeutic effects seem to be equivalent and at least comparable to pharmacotherapy in mild to moderate depression.
