Freqmech
The Freqmech study (Frequency and Mechanisms of psychotherapy for depression) investigates whether the frequency in number of treatment sessions within either CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy) or IPT (interpersonal psychotherapy) makes a difference in effect/outcome for patients with depressive disorder. This research project is a collaboration between the Vrije Universiteit and several mental health care institutions (GGZ inGeest, PsyQ, Altrecht, GGZ Oss, Pro Persona en Riagg Maastricht).
Participants were randomly divided into four different groups: CBT once a week, CBT twice a week, IPT once a week or IPT twice a week. Each treatment lasted for about six months.
