Abstract
Littles currently known about the efficacy of marital therapy in alleviating depression. Traditionally, depression has been treated with group, individual, and or chemotherapy. The present contribution discusses the rationale for assessment and treatment of depression within the interpersonal context of marriage. Relationship factors frequently cause, maintain or mitigate an individual's depression. The majority of married individuals who present with depression have distressed marriages; the majority of distressed marriages include depressed partners. Accordingly, cognitive and behaviorally oriented marital therapists have initiated clinical research projects to study the relative effectiveness of individual therapy and or cognitive behavioral marital therapy in treating depression and marital distress. Currently employed cognitive and behavioral marital interventions are discussed.
