Differential efficay of supportive and interpretative psychodynamic techniques for dependent and self-critical depressive patients: an experimental single case design

The current study investigates for the first time in an experimental design whether psychodynamic techniques for Major Depressive Disorder are differentially efficacious dependent on personality traits of the patient. More specifically if supportive, respectively interpretative techniques are significantly more efficacious in reducing depressive symptoms for dependent, respectively self-critical patiens. This through increased relational capacities, respectively increased self-understanding.
