164:) has found that cognitive therapy is as efficacious and more enduring than antidepressant medications in the treatment of unipolar depression. That cognitive therapy has an enduring effect is perhaps his major contribution; studies dating to the early 1980s have found that treating patients with cognitive therapy cuts risk for relapse by more than half following relative to medication treatment following treatment termination and is at least as efficacious as keeping patients on antidepressant medications. He has over 300 publications and has mentored over 20 doctoral and post-doctoral advisees.
282:. The first showed that CBT is as efficacious as antidepressant medications for even more severe depressions and once again more enduring. The second trial found that adding CBT to medications enhanced recovery in a moderated fashion (only non-chronic patients with more severe depressions benefitted) although at the expense of CBT's enduring effect. Hollon has contributed to four of the seven trials (out of eight total) that have found prior cognitive therapy has an enduring effect relative to antidepressant medications following treatment termination.
314:. Change in cognition appears to drive change in depression in cognitive therapy while the opposite pattern obtains in medication treatment whereas acquisition of skills and change in underlying core beliefs appears to mediate the enduring effects found for cognitive therapy. His recent interests have gravitated toward optimizing treatment selection (moderation), global mental health, and evolutionary theory with respect to depression.
