Jan 1990
Abstract
Programs designed to help people cope more effectively with stressful life situations via training in social problem-solving skills have increased over the past decade. This article focuses specifically on problem-solving therapy for unipolar depression and provides a brief description of treatment guidelines for conducting psychotherapy with adult depressives. This therapy approach entails systematic training in the following five problem-solving processes: problem orientation, problem definition and formulation, generation of alternatives, decision making, and solution implementation and verification. Additionally, various clinical considerations concerning this treatment model are highlighted.
