Patients with defined (vs. undefined) symptom change trajectories during acute-phase cognitive therapy showed better longitudinal outcomes. PSR = psychiatric status ratings of major depressive disorder. DEP = residual depressive symptom severity composite (3 SD above the mean at acute-phase intake was used as the scale maximum). DAS = Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. BHS = Beck Hopelessness Scale. IIP = Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. SAS-SR = Social Adjustment Scale—Self-report. Weekly probability of being in a major depressive episode (MDE), remission, and recovery estimated using PSR.
* p < .05, two-tailed, difference between groups.
