“…We examined the treatment goals set by patients who were participating in behaviorally oriented psychotherapy for depression. 25,26 Patients with MDD most often articulated goals related to improving family or other social relationships, increasing positive health behaviors, finding a job, or organizing their home. Although findings regarding the relative importance of each treatment goal cannot necessarily be generalized to all depressed populations, we believe these results provide useful information about what types of goals may be generally important to depressed outpatients, and how existing psychosocial treatment for depression may be improved.…”

Treatment goals and preferences of depressed patients are important, but they are rarely empirically studied. Although clinicians are likely to discuss goals with individual patients, research that clarifies overall patterns in the treatment goals of depressed patients could be useful in informing new interventions for depression. Such research could also potentially help address problems such as poor adherence and psychotherapy drop-out. In this preliminary qualitative investigation, we examined treatment goals established by depressed outpatients in the context of a trial of behaviorally oriented psychotherapy. The treatment goals that were most commonly articulated included improving social and family relationships, increasing physical health behaviors, finding a job, and organizing one’s home. These results underscore the fact that, in addition to improvement in the symptoms of depression, functional improvements are viewed as key treatment goals by depressed individuals.

“…Meta-analyses of such within-cases results have not appeared as frequently as those of RCTs, but they do exist. In analyzing the findings from 18 meta-analyses of within-patients-outcomes (pre-therapy versus post-therapy) research, the mean (SD) ES was 1.35 (0.39), 95% CI [1.16,1.55] (Burlingame, Fuhriman, & Mosier, 2003;Clement, 2008;de Maat, de Jonghe, Schoevers, & Dekker, 2009;Driessen, Cuijpers de Maat, Abbass, de Jonghe, & Dekker, 2010;Friedman, Cardemil, Uebelacker, Beevers, Chestnut, & Miller, 2005;Hofman, Sawyer, Witt, & Oh, 2010;Huber, Henrich, & Klug, 2005;Kazdin & Whitley, 2006;Leichsenring & Leibing, 2003;Leichsenring, Rabung, & Leibing, 2004;Maughan, Christiansen, Jenson, Olympia, & Clark, 2005;Michael & Crowley, 2002;Minami, Wampold, Serlin, Kircher, & Brown, 2007;Norton & Philipp, 2008;Oei & Dingle, 2008;Stiles, Barkham, Twigg, Mellor-Clark, & Cooper, 2006).…”

Of 2,259 patients seen during 45 years of private practice, outcome data was produced for 1,599 cases. The mean (SD) number of sessions per case was 18.82 (29.89). The dropout rate was 18.76%. Of all treated cases with outcome data 4 (0.25%) were rated as Much Worse; 11 (0.69%), Worse; 497 (31.08%), No Change from Intake; 546 (34.15%), Improved; and 541 (33.83%), Much Improved. The mean (SD) pre-/post-treatment effect size (ES) was 1.90 (1.61), the median was 1.62, and the range was from -2.91 to +15.22. Patients and parents of minors rated outcomes more positively than the therapist did. Outcome varied significantly across diagnostic categories. There was a significant, positive relationship in length of treatment and outcome. The therapist's effectiveness did not improve across the years. Years with the largest patient caseloads or the greatest proportion of patients with managed-care insurance tended to show the poorest outcomes.

Equivalence-based measures of clinical significance: assessing treatments for depression

Treatment efficacy is largely determined by statistical significance testing, and clinical significance testing is often used to quantify or qualify the efficacy of a treatment at the individual or group level. This study applies the equivalence-based clinical significance model proposed by Kendall, Marrs-Garcia, Nath, and Sheldrick (1999) and a revised model proposed by Cribbie and Arpin-Cribbie (2009) to the assessment of treatments for depression. Using several studies that investigated treatments for depression, the authors tested whether the posttreatment means were equivalent to those for a similar normal comparison group. All of the studies had significant improvement from pretest to posttest, although for many of the studies the treated group was not equivalent to a normal comparison group at posttest. Further, there are important differences between the conclusions drawn from the Kendall et al. and Cribbie and Arpin-Cribbie methods for assessing equivalence-based clinical significance.
