Background: The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), initially developed as an outpatient treatment for chronic depression (CD), has been adapted as a multidisciplinary 12-week inpatient program for CD. Methods: Seventy inpatients with CD and treatment resistance were included in a noncontrolled trial. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale served as the primary outcome measure. Prospective naturalistic follow-up assessments were conducted 6 and 12 months after discharge. Results: Dropout rate was 7.1%; 90.4% perceived the program as helpful. Pre-post comparisons yielded strong effect sizes; 75.7% of the intention-to-treat sample responded, and 40.0% remitted. Nonremission was associated with experiencing temporary deterioration of symptoms during treatment. After 6 months 75.0% and after 12 months 48.0% of patients sustained response. Conclusions: The CBASP program appears as a feasible acute treatment for treatment-resistant CD inpatients with promising outcome. However, the continuation of treatment after discharge should be optimized especially for patients with subjective deterioration during treatment. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
