The article features the effectiveness of different psychotherapeutic approaches to psychological care in order to determine the most effective type of psychotherapy for depressive and anxiety disorders. The research considers the place of anxiety and depressive disorders in the ICD-10 classification; the article notes a contradiction between the theoretical separation of these disorders in ICD-10 and the frequent comorbidity (50 %) of these disorders in the clinical picture; the authors justify the choice of one form of psychotherapy for disorders of the anxiety-depressive spectrum. The paper contains an overview of the results of meta- analyses for person-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. It describes and analyses the most common approaches to psychotherapy of anxiety-depressive spectrum disorders by applying combined pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy in the cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal approaches. Based on the overview of meta-analyses of evidencebased studies of the effectiveness of these types of psychotherapy, it is concluded that short-term interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral approaches are most preferable in the therapy of anxiety and depressive disorders. There is a tendency towards further integration of approaches on the methodological basis of cognitive-behavioral therapy.
