Five unipolar nonpsychotic female depressives were treated with social skills training consisting of instructions, role-playing, feedback, modeling, positive reinforcement, social perception instruction, correct self-evaluation, and home-work assignments. Each of the five patients received 12 one-hour sessions during the initial treatment phase. Three of the patients were then given maintenance treatment once a month for six months; one patient received maintenance treatment once a month for three months. Self-report scales, psychiatric rating scales, and behavioral measures for depression and assertiveness indicated marked improvements in each of the patients. Data adduced suggest that this social skills treatment package appears to be effective in ameliorating both the interpersonal and vegetative signs of unipolar nonpsychotic depression.
