Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized study compares the outcomes of short-term psychodynamic therapy (STPP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in 100 outpatients with major depression, including those with and without personality disorders. The results indicate that while both treatments were effective, the presence of a personality disorder diagnosis did not significantly moderate treatment outcomes between the two modalities. However, paranoid traits showed a significant interaction favoring STPP. The authors suggest that co-occurring mild to moderate personality pathology should not preclude patients from receiving standard psychotherapies for depression.
