Spouse-Aided Therapy with Depressed Patients

Lineke Emanuels-Zuurveen

Paul M. G. Emmelkamp

Academic Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands

Twenty-three non-maritally distressed depressed patients who were married or cohabitating were randomly assigned to either individual behavioral-cognitive therapy or spouse-aided treatment. Both treatment conditions focused on depressed mood, behavioral activity, and dysfunctional cognitions, the difference being that in the spouse-aided treatment the partner was involved in all aspects of treatment, whereas in the individual condition the partner was not involved. MANOVAs revealed that treatment led to statistically significant improvement on depressed mood, behavioral activity, and dysfunctional cognitions. Treatment did not affect relationship variables (marital satisfaction, communication, and expressed emotion) for both spouses. Spouse-aided therapy was as effective as individual cognitive-behavior therapy.
