Abstract: The goal of this article is to briefly review and summarize the rationale and research support for cognitivebehavioral\ntherapy (CBT) as a treatment for depressed adolescents. A primary focus of the paper is on our\ngroup CBT treatment for adolescent depression, entitled “The Adolescent Coping with Depression Course”.\nIn addition, initial findings from a large, recently-completed study contrasting individual CBT with\nfluoxetine for depressed adolescents (Treatment of Adolescents with Depression Study) are presented.\nAlthough the research support for CBT as a treatment for depressed adolescents is generally encouraging,\nwe need to better understand which depressed adolescents benefit from CBT, how and when to incorporate\nmedication and family-based interventions into CBT treatment, how to treat depressed adolescents with comorbid\npsychiatric conditions, and how CBT interventions fare with non-European-American depressed\nadolescents.
