Mechanisms of Emotion Regulation Underlying Successful CBT in Depression

Following established procedures at the DES at NYSPI, 12 sessions of individual manual-driven CBT (Emery, 2000) will be conducted by highly trained master degree clinicians.

As a non-CBT intervention that includes warmth, genuineness and empathy (Linde et al., 2011), nonspecific supportive therapy (PBO) will be administered in a parallel format to CBT, also consisting of 12 individual sessions.
