Abstract
The primary aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to  
compare the outcome from two types of short-term psychodynamic  
psychotherapy. The participants were thirty-nine women with  
depression. Half of the participants (n = 18) received art  
psychotherapy and the other half received verbal psychotherapy (n =  
21). Data was collected before and after psychotherapy, and at a 3- 
month follow-up using self-rating scales and interviewer-based  
ratings. Results showed that art and verbal psychotherapies were  
comparable, and at follow-up, the average participant in both groups  
had few depressive symptoms and stress-related symptoms. The  
conclusion was that short-term psychodynamic art therapy could be a  
valuable treatment for depressed women.
