Nota:

•  - to measure the enduring effects of prior behavioural activation and cognitive therapy on patients with major depressive disorder, and compare those effects to those of continued antidepressant use.

Nota:

•  - random assignment  - placebo  - used manuals for both CT and BA

1. Beck depression inventory - 2
2. Hamilton rating scale for depression
