Marital therapy: a viable treatment for depression and marital discord
KD O'Leary and SR Beach
State University of New York, Stony Brook 11794-2500.
Thirty-six maritally discordant couples with depressed wives were randomly
assigned to marital therapy, cognitive therapy, or a waiting- list control
condition. The women given marital or cognitive therapy showed significant
and clinically meaningful reductions in their depression. The women given
marital therapy showed greater increases in marital satisfaction than did
those given cognitive therapy or no therapy; these differences were
maintained at 1-year follow-up. These findings suggest that marital therapy
may be the most effective and appropriate treatment for clinically
significant marital discord with coexisting clinically significant
depression.
