Treatment participation rates were 97% for telephone care management and 93% for telephone care management plus psychotherapy. For primary care patients beginning antidepressant treatment, a telephone program integrating care management and structured cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy can significantly improve satisfaction and clinical outcomes. These findings suggest a new public health model of psychotherapy for depression including active outreach and vigorous efforts to improve access to and motivation for treatment."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.revitalizingpsychiatry.com/PhoneTherapy.html">Phone Therapy is available at the Center of Revitalizing Psychiatry</a>vIgrushkanoreply@blogger.com
