ways to help depression through the years

greenspun.com : LUSENET : History & Theory of Psychology : One Thread

I was trying to find articles on different ways to help depression over the last 75 years. I was hoping to make a time line of the differing techniques.

You should consult abnormal psychology/psychopathology texts, sampling one or two from each decade, and perhaps also texts first in medical psychology and later in psychotherapy. You can also gain some ideas from checking various editions of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association and the ICD classification systems. Definitely a research project that will take some time!
