%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.
