Attention is paid to those who respond poorly to treatment, as well as the major studies showing successful treatment. A review is given of the use of antidepressant drugs, electroshock, and other medical treatments. The major (cognitive/behavioral and interpersonal) psychotherapies are reviewed as well as the evidence that exercise, relaxation, and meditation are valuable. The relevance of the perspectives of bioenergetics, T'ai Chi and dance/movement therapy are considered. The treatment of professional burnout is presented. In conclusion proposals are given of how to best understand depression's occurrence, diagnosis, and treatment as well as suggesting further research that is needed, and programmatic proposals for group programs concerning both treatment and staff that deliver treatment.</p>"}
