Abstract

Current treatments of depression were evaluated for credibility. Interpersonal, communication, self-control, cognitive, social skills, and relaxation placebo therapies were rated significantly more credible and efficacious than psychodynamic and activity-change therapies, which were rated significantly more credible than biological (drug) therapy. Implications were addressed.
