Abstract

Patients were recruited from the UCLA AIDS Research Center who had previously been referred to psychiatry for participation in an open-label pilot program that treated patients with major depression with fluoxetine.

This closed, twenty-session, homogeneous (for patient characteristics), psychoeducational, supportive and cognitively oriented psychotherapy group was successful.
