Abstract

Eight hundred fifty-one severely depressed patients were treated on an outpatient basis over a twenty-year period with psychotherapy in combination with antidepressant drug therapy. The selection of patients and treatment technique is described.

Eighty-three percent of the patients had excellent or good results within a period of three weeks. These results are compared with those obtained with electroshock treatment or psychotherapy alone.
