Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of remission from major depression in adolescent patients given cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). METHOD: The study was based on 50 patients aged between 10 and 17 years who were obtained from two studies of CBT. A wide range of possible predictors was examined. RESULTS: Sixty percent remitted by the end of treatment. In multivariate analyses remission was associated with younger age and less social impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Depressed patients who respond to CBT tend to be younger and less severely impaired than those who do not respond.
