Samenvatting:
De cursus ‘omgaan met depressie’ is een cognitief-gedragstherapeutische interventie gericht op de behandeling van depressies bij adolescenten. Deze behandelvorm is psycho-educatief van aard. In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op de doelstellingen en inhoud van deze cursus. Verder wordt het onderzoek beschreven dat tot op heden naar de cursus is verricht. De interventie blijkt deugdelijk, effectief en grondig onderzocht te zijn. Verder is ook onderzoek verricht naar de predictoren voor succes, de invloed van de ernst van de depressieve klachten op de uitkomst, naar de rol van terugkombijeenkomsten en de verwachtingen van de deelnemers aan de cursus. Momenteel wordt de cursus aangepast aan de Nederlandse situatie.

The ‘Coping with Depression’ course: Group treatment of depression in adolescents
The ‘Coping with Depression’ course is a cognitive–behavioural intervention for depression in adolescents. It is a psycho–educational treatment modality. In this article the aims and contents of the course are described. Further, a review of the research is presented. The course appears to be well studied, effective and well documented. Also, the predictors of success, the role of initial severity of the depression, the role of booster sessions and the expectations of participants have been investigated. At this moment the materials of the course are being adapted to the Dutch situation.
