The data on the 149 included studies are presented in order to give other researchers access to the studies we collected, and to give background information about the meta-analyses we have published using this dataset. In the database, we present selected characteristics of each study, including characteristics of the patients (the study population, recruitment method, definition of depression) characteristics of the experimental conditions and interventions (the experimental conditions, N per condition, format, number of sessions) and study characteristics (measurement times, measures used, attrition, type of analysis and country). In the 149 included studies, a total of 11,369 patients participated. The 149 studies included in these 9 meta-analyses are included in the current database. We conducted nine meta-analyses of subgroups of studies taken from this dataset.

We included randomized studies in which the effects of a psychological therapy on adults with depression were compared to a control condition, another psychological intervention, or a combined treatment (psychological plus pharmacological).

We conducted a comprehensive literature search of the major bibliographical databases (Pubmed Psycinfo Embase Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and we examined the references of 22 earlier meta-analyses of psychological treatment of depression. The database can be accessed freely through the Internet.

In this paper, we present a database of controlled and comparative outcome studies on psychological treatments of depression, based on a series of meta-analyses published by our group. The number of studies in this area is increasing rapidly.

A large number of randomized controlled studies have clearly demonstrated that psychological interventions are effective in the treatment of depression.
