Depression and Self-Esteem: An Investigation That Used Behavioral and Cognitive Approaches to the Treatment of Clinically Depressed Clients.

Gardner, P.; Oei, T. P. S.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v37 n1 p128-35 Jan 1981

A study of depressed patients showed either cognitive or behavioral treatment can effectively alleviate the depressed condition by a short-term approach. A cognitive approach was more effective in decreasing depression and maintaining this effect. A strong inverse correlation between self-concept and depression after treatment was demonstrated.
