E138 What Does Science Reveal About Therapy? (w/ Prof. Pim Cuijpers)
Pim Cuijpers. Ph.D. is professor emeritus of Clinical Psychology at the Department of Clinical, Neuro and Developmental Psychology, Amsterdam Public Health research institute, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He is also director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Dissemination of Psychological Interventions in Amsterdam.
Professor Cuijpers is specialised in conducting randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses on prevention and psychological treatments of common mental disorders.
Today, we focus on what is known about the psychological treatment of depression. We start off a little technical – so that you hopefully can come away with an initial understanding of what a meta-analysis is and how they are useful. Prof Cuijpers then tells us about what is known about how effective psychological therapies are in depression, where we’re at with personalising and what his vision for the future is.

"Grazie, this discussion has provided me with a deeper understanding of the global implications of psychotherapy and the critical issues surrounding the use of psychotropic drugs. I'm particularly concerned about the misuse of these medications in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment, who are often not psychiatric patients. The work of Prof. Pim Cuijpers and Prof. Joanna Moncrieff is invaluable in highlighting the need for evidence-based approaches and cautioning against the over-reliance on psychotropic medications. Their research and proposals offer promising ways to reduce human suffering and improve care for vulnerable populations. I appreciate their dedication to advancing our understanding of mental health and promoting more effective, compassionate care." Torino Italy
