Beutler, Larry E.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v55 n4 p550-56 Aug 1987

Explored relative and combined effectiveness of alprazolam and group cognitive therapy among 56 elderly adults experiencing major affective disorder. Results revealed that individuals assigned to group cognitive therapy showed consistent improvement in subjective state and sleep efficiency relative to non-group-therapy subjects. No differences between alprazolam and placebo were found. (Author/NB)
