%A P Rohde %J Journal of Indian Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health %T Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Depression in Adolescents %X The goal of this article is to briefly review and summarize the rationale and research support for cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment for depressed adolescents. A primary focus of the paper is on our group CBT treatment for adolescent depression, entitled ?The Adolescent Coping with Depression Course?. In addition, initial findings from a large, recently-completed study contrasting individual CBT with fluoxetine for depressed adolescents (Treatment of Adolescents with Depression Study) are presented. Although the research support for CBT as a treatment for depressed adolescents is generally encouraging, we need to better understand which depressed adolescents benefit from CBT, how and when to incorporate medication and family-based interventions into CBT treatment, how to treat depressed adolescents with comorbid psychiatric conditions, and how CBT interventions fare with non-European-American depressed adolescents. %N 1 %K Cognitive-Behavioural, Treatment, Depression, Adolescents %P 6 %E I Sharma %E Rajesh Sagar %E Mona Srivastava %E Beena Johnson %V 1 %D 2005 %I Indian Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health %L cogprints4210
