Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026//0942-5403.11.4.238

Zusammenfassung. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Studie wurde ein Gruppenprogramm in Anlehnung an den Adolescent Coping with Depression Course (CWD-A) der Arbeitsgruppe um Lewinsohn bei depressiven Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen erprobt und auf seine Wirksamkeit hin überprüft. Das hochstrukturierte, psychoeduktive Gruppenprogramm wird in Kursen mit vier bis acht Teilnehmern über 10 zweistündige Sitzungen durchgeführt. Es werden vor allem soziale und kognitive Fertigkeiten, die Planung angenehmer Aktivitäten, Kommunikations- und Problemlösefertigkeiten sowie Entspannungsübungen fokussiert, deren Vermittlung über protokollierte Selbstbeobachtung, Rollenspiele und Verhaltensübungen realisiert wird. Bisher fanden vier Kurse mit insgesamt 24 Teilnehmern statt, die Depressionen in subklinischer oder klinisch relevanter Ausprägung bzw. komorbide depressive Störungen aufwiesen. Erste Analysen zeigen neben einer signifikanten Verringerung depressiver Symptomatik und irrationalen Denkens auch eine bedeutsame Zunahme erwünschter Verhaltens- und Erlebensweisen wie angenehmer Aktivitäten, Peerintegration, Optimismus und psychologischen Wohlbefindens. Zum Zeitpunkt des Kursendes waren 56 % der ursprünglich depressiven Teilnehmer remittiert.


Evaluation of a cognitive-behavioral group intervention for depressed adolescents and young adults

Abstract. In the present study a group intervention in the tradition of the Adolescent Coping with Depression Course (CWD-A) of Lewinsohn and colleagues was conducted and evaluated with adolescents and young adults. This highly structured, psychoeducational intervention includes ten 2-hour group sessions that take place in courses with four to eight participants. The treatment focuses on social and cognitive skills, planning pleasant activities, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, as well as relaxation techniques taught by recorded self-monitoring, role play, and repeated practice of skills. In the presented study four courses with 24 participants suffering from subclinical or clinically relevant depressive disorders or comorbid depressive disorders took place. Initial analysis show significant decreases in depressive symptoms and irrational beliefs, and significant increases in pleasant activities, peerintegration, optimism, and psychological well-being. At post-treatment, 56 % of the initially depressive participants showed remission.
