Sponsor's own description
Depression is a common mental illness which is costly for both society and for those affected. There is a need for effective treatments of depression and there is a need to make sure that the treatments that are given are based on scientific findings. In this study the investigators want to examine and compare two common treatment models for depression - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy. The investigators want to investigate what characterizes these treatments when they are successful, and seek to better understand what it is like for patients to receive these treatments. Also, the investigators will investigate the experience of patients who abruptly discontinue treatment. To investigate these questions, self-report measures, interviews and analysis of session recordings will be used.
