Group Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression in Rural Uganda: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Paul Bolton et al.

This study of World Vision’s pioneering methodology of Group Interpersonal Therapy for severe depression in HIV-affected communities, published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, concludes that: “Group interpersonal psychotherapy was highly efficacious in reducing depression and dysfunction. A clinical trial proved feasible in the local setting. Both findings should encourage similar trials in similar settings in Africa and beyond.”
