The Treatment Of Depression With Group Behavioural-Cognitive Therapy And Imipramine., Glenn Gaudette, A Stravynski, R Verreault, R Langlois, S Gagnier, M Larose
Glenn R. Gaudette
Twenty-four outpatients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for major depression were assigned to group behavioral-cognitive therapy either with or without antidepressant medication (imipramine). Eighteen patients completed 15 weekly sessions of treatment. Equivalent improvement was observed in both regimens after treatment. The results essentially maintained at six months follow-up. This suggests that a group format of behavioural-cognitive therapy is a viable therapeutic intervention for outpatients diagnosed as suffering from major depression. However, the addition of imipramine to group behavioural-cognitive therapy did not enhance the outcome.

The elements of a scanning probe microscope are modeled as a set of springs in series. For a single‐component sample, that is, a sample consisting of only one material, the detected feature height in variable force (force microscopy) or variable current (tunneling microscopy) modes is a function of the total system stiffness and the stiffness of the detector. For a multicomponent sample, the data in both variable force (current) and constant force (current) modes are modified by the set‐point force, the detector stiffness, and the relative stiffnesses of the components of the sample. A detection scheme for reducing this compliance …
