Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Depression is a highly common mental disorder and a major cause of disability worldwide. Several psychological interventions are available, but there is a lack of evidence to decide which treatment works best for whom. This study aimed to identify subgroups of patients who respond differentially to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or person-centered counseling for depression (CfD).
