اتحاد درمانی و پایبندی درمانگر بعنوان پیش بینی کننده ترک درمان شناختی برای افسردگی هنگامی که با داروهای ضد افسردگی ترکیب می شود

We examined the relation of these psychotherapy process variables and dropout in the context of cognitive therapy for depression when provided in combination with pharmacotherapy.
