Cognitive Vulnerabilities as Prognostic Predictors of Acute and Follow-Up Outcomes in Seasonal Affective Disorder Treatment with Light Therapy or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
ConclusionsGreater morningness was associated with less severe post-treatment depression in both cognitive-behavior therapy and light therapy. No cognitive vulnerability emerged as a prognostic or prescriptive predictor, perhaps because they correlated with pre-treatment depression severity, a robust predictor of outcome. Future research should test alternative cognitive constructs.
