Introduction Depression has become a pressing health issue in contemporary society, as it is the most common complaint from individuals seeking mental health care ( Sue ., 2006 ). Common treatments for depression include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT) and antidepressants. A survey of the recommendations captured in the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guideline for treating depression shows that CBT is often offered as a treatment for depression ( NHS, 2007 ). Investigations into the effectiveness of CBT and comparative studies between CBT and other forms of psychotherapy and drug treatment have produced evidence to support the active use of CBT for the treatment of depression. Clearly, CBT is recognized as an effective treatment for major depression ( Luty ., 2007 ). CBT as a treatment for depression Much research conducted on CBT to evaluate its effectiveness has hailed this method as a choice form of psychotherapy for depression.
