Randomized clinical trial that compares the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and supportive psychotherapy for depression. Short- and long-term outcomes will be evaluated in terms of changes in mood (primarily depression and anxiety), participation in activities and life satisfaction.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Individual psychotherapy focused on identifying and correcting maladaptive cognitions and behaviors with the goal of improving mood. The intervention has adapted CBT specifically to address cognitive deficits associated with TBI, which compound the cognitive distortions typical of depression. CBT therapists embed compensatory strategies within treatment sessions to address cognitive limitations of each participant.

BEHAVIORAL

Supportive psychotherapy

A client-centered individual psychotherapy treatment approach designed to address depressive disorders commonly experienced by individuals following a TBI. In line with traditional supportive psychotherapy approaches, the objective of SPT is to improve the individual's ability to deal with problems of daily living more effectively through problem identification, praise, reassurance, encouragement, psychoeducation, advice, anticipatory guidance, and expanding awareness.
