| resumeang: unassigned: Presents the rationale and design of the 2nd Sheffield psychotherapy project in which 120 white-collar, professional and managerial employees presenting with major depressive disorder receive either 8 or 16 sessions of either prescriptive (cognitive/behavioral) or exploratory (relationship-oriented) therapy. The analysis of preliminary outcome data (e.g., Beck Depression Inventory, Present State Examination) on 48 clients suggested substantial clinical improvement, of similar magnitude for both methods and both durations of treatment, except that exploratory therapy appeared more effective than prescriptive in relation to interpersonal difficulties.
