“…The successful results of individual cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in the treatment of moderate to severe depressions have been well-documented over the years (e.g. Rush et al 1977; Beck et al 1979; Rush & Giles, 1982; Dobson, 1989; Freeman et al 1989; Kragh-Sørensen et al 1991; Paykel, 1992; Haaga & Beck, 1992; Beck, 1995). Even though there is less documentation of CBT group interventions, there are also studies that indicate promising results.…”

The effect of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is well-documented for individual interventions for depression. Studies of group interventions for depression using CBT principles are more sparse. Hence the reason for this naturalistic study that reviews the results of a short term 12-session manualized CBT group intervention offered in an inpatient setting at the Specialized Treatment Unit for Depression and Anxiety at the Psychiatric Centre Copenhagen, Bispebjerg Hospital, over a 5-year period. The aim of the study was the treatment and relapse prevention of depressive symptoms by teaching patients cognitive behavioural therapeutic methods. The manual deviated only slightly from Melanie Fennell's treatment model. Sixty-two patients were referred and 48 participated, 45 of these had been inpatients with moderate to severe major depression admitted to the ward with a depressive episode or recurrent depressive episodes of at least 2 weeks and up to 2 years’ duration. So far the results are promising, measured by the decrease in the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) score at session 12 [mean BDI-II score at baseline: 30.7 (s.d. = 9.9); post-treatment: 20.4 (s.d. = 12.6), p<0.0001], relapse was measured by the rate of readmissions compared to data published in a previous register-based study on Danish patients with unipolar depression, which showed significantly lower rates of readmission in our sample (p = 0.003) and patients’ self-reported improvement, indicating that treatment in groups can be recommended, although a 12-session programme may have to be extended for people with more complex and longstanding personality impairments and recurring depression. Secondary gains not originally intended, but pointed out in patient feedback, were the strengthening of social skills and self-esteem.

“…Similarly, while cognitive therapy (CT) is an empirically supported and manualized first-line treatment for both anxiety and depressive disorders (see A. T. Beck, 1991, for a review; Chambless et al, 1998), survey textbooks containing CT treatment reviews for depressive and different anxiety disorders separately do not include chapters or commentary on MA/D treatment (Freeman, Simon, Beutler, & Arkowitz, 1989; Leahy, 1997). This may be due to the assumption that clinicians will use clinical experience to combine or synthesize cognitive interventions when treating both conditions.…”

This article reviews a cognitive therapy approach for mixed anxiety and depression (MA/D) presentations. Owing to high comorbidity rates, MA/D is a common challenge for clinicians, and no discussions of systematic cognitive therapy treatment for MA/D were found in the current literature. This article includes assessment of conjoint anxiety and depression along with the assessment of cognitive products and structures in MA/D cases. Cognitive therapy conceptualization for MA/D states are reviewed. Treatment emphasis is in the technical aspects of cognitive therapy application to MA/D, utilizing empirical assessment data. An MA/D case presentation for assessment and conceptualization is included.

“…In clinical practice, it may often be preferable not to adhere too rigidly to a single model. How ever, this paper will focus exclusively on the applications of cognitive therapy [1][2][3]. Se lected cognitive concepts will be introduced which are useful in understanding emotional responses to chronic physical illness.…”

Selected cognitive concepts are reviewed which are relevant to the management of emotional disturbance in chronic physical illness.

These are illustrated by brief clinical case descriptions and also discussed in terms of relevant research findings. Particular assets of cognitive therapy are discussed in relation to chronic physical illness.
