Summary
In this study we compare two treatments for major depression - fluoxetine and brief
psychodynamic psychotherapy. In addition to more traditional outcome measures, we also
measure the densities of 5HT-1A and D-2 receptors before and after the treatment. The main
hypothesis is that brief psychotherapy is as effective as fluoxetine.
