In-Home Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Depression: An Adapted Treatment for First-Time Mothers in Home Visitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
an adaptation of standard cognitive-behavioral therapy, for 26 mothers with depression. All mothers were concurrently receiving home visitation services from either a Healthy Families America (HFA) or Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) agency. Pretreatment and posttreatment assessments were conducted using the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and the Maternal Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ). A substantial reduction in depression was observed from pretreatment to posttreatment. Decreased levels of functional impairment were also found. The challenges of delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy in a nonclinical setting and integrating this treatment within a long-term prevention program are discussed. Future avenues for research, particularly the need for a controlled clinical trial, are also presented.
