Abstract: This pragmatic randomized controlled trial tested the effectiveness of long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy (LTPP) as an adjunct to treatmentas-usual according to UK national guidelines (TAU), compared to TAU alone, in patients with long-standing major depression who had failed at least two different treatments and were considered to have treatment-resistant depression. Patients (N5129) were recruited from primary care and randomly allocated to the two treatment conditions. They were assessed at 6-monthly in… Show more

“…These types of studies are just now being performed in a rigorous way in adult TRD populations, with promising results for more intensive or longer‐term psychotherapies. Long‐term psychoanalytic psychotherapy over 18 months was compared treatment as usual in a sample of adults with TRD, and while differences were not apparent at the end of the treatment phase, they emerged during the 24‐, 30‐, and 42‐month follow‐ups, with improvements in both the clinical and functional outcomes of patients who received psychoanalytic therapy (Fonagy et al, ). An additional study of chronically depressed adults in Germany compared long‐term psychoanalytic therapy (36 months) with long‐term CBT (15 months) and found significant reduction in depressive symptoms in both groups (Leuzinger‐Bohleber et al, ).…”

“…Many of the strategies used to manage TRD are unsuitable in primary care, either because they require specialist input on initiation such as the strategies advocated in STAR*D or other common practices used now such as augmentation with second generation antipsychotics (olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine)143 or because of lack of provision, for example, for psychoanalytic psychotherapy 144…”

“…Practice is dominated by the evidence-based practice (EBP) discourse, which exemplifies an ostensibly neutral, objective method, which however always operates within power relations. 9 Yet there is gathering evidence from randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews that psychoanalytic therapies are successful in demonstrating effectiveness, mainly for short-term (Abbass et al, 2014) but also for longterm psychotherapy (Fonagy, 2015;Fonagy et al, 2015). This is a source of confidence for psychoanalytic practitioners and indicates the importance of engagement with this discourse, despite its shortcomings as a method for assessing clinical change and outcomes, and being situated within a discourse of economic constraint.…”
