Marital therapy for depression

The Efficacy of Systemic Therapy With Adult Patients: A Meta‐Content Analysis of 38 Randomized Controlled Trials

“…A Cochrane review on the efficacy of couple therapy (CT) for depression (Barbato & D'Avanzo, 2006) identified N =8 studies (1 systemic). They found no significant differences in efficacy between couple and ITs or between CT and antidepressive medication.…”

“…Results of meta‐analyses/Cochrane reviews of CFT in general (Dunn & Schwebel, 1995; Grawe et al, 1994; Markus, Lange, & Pettigrew, 1990; Shadish et al, 1993) and the treatment of specific disorders (Barbato & D'Avanzo, 2006; Edwards & Steinglass, 1995; Henken, Huibers, Churchill, Restifo, & Roelofs, 2007; Justo et al, 2007; Martire, Lustig, Schulz, Miller, & Helgeson, 2004; O'Farrell & Fals‐Stewart, 2001; Pharoah, Mari, Rathbone, & Wong, 2006; Stanton & Shadish, 1997) are summarized in the results section. Only the latest, most comprehensive versions of Cochrane Reviews were included.…”

Paternal Depressive Symptoms and Marital Quality: A Meta‐Analysis of Cross‐Sectional Studies

“…From the results of this study, treatment options that reduce depressive symptoms may also enhance marital quality, and vice versa. Indeed, a Cochrane review by Barbato and D'Avanzo () demonstrated that individual psychotherapy and pharmacological options for treating depression were not superior to marital therapy. The authors also found lower rates of attrition among individuals in marital therapy than among those using pharmacological treatment options.…”

Caught in a bad romance: Perfectionism, conflict, and depression in romantic relationships.

This highlights the need to treat not only individual problems, but also the way heterosexual couples communicate and resolve conflict as a unit (Barbato & D'Avanzo, 2009).…”
