Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The WHO considers psychological interventions to be first-line treatments for mild depression and effective in combination with antidepressants for moderate and severe depression.1 However, interventions are often developed in populations from Europe and the USA. Little is known about how such treatments are adapted for minority populations in Western societies or for populations elsewhere.
