3 Significance of the Study

This chapter presents background material that will encourage the exploration of what is
known about the first of these assumptions, that depression is a set of distinctive disorders. This
exploration leads to consideration of the evidence that bears on the second assumption, that there
is a well-defined, specific treatment for depression. In this way, a decision can be made as to
whether the guidelines that are presented, based on principles of differential effect, are more or
less useful than those based on assumptions about the specificity of depression and its treatment.
