Abstract Synopsis

  • The study tested whether Intensive ShortTerm Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is more effective than usual care for patients with treatment-resistant depression, finding that ISTDP led to greater improvements in depression symptoms over 6 months.
  • Patients who received ISTDP were significantly more likely to achieve remission or partial remission compared to those in the usual treatment group.
  • The results suggest that ISTDP could be a promising alternative for depression patients who haven't responded well to other treatments, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.]
