Evidence-based medicine gains more importance within psychotherapy as well, although some problems occur in trying to follow the principles of evidence-based-medicine in the field of psychotherapy very strictly. The Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for depression, which has been developed more than 30 years ago may be taken as an example for evidence-based-psychotherapy: the concept was built on empirical observations and manualised. Further on it was evaluated in many clinical trails that showed the good efficacy and later effectiveness. IPT reaches a high level of evidence and is to be seen as well-established psychotherapy. Psychotherapy research tries to point out the effectiveness for different subtypes of depressive disorders. Moreover it is investigated which connection exist between therapy outcome and neurobiological changes in the central nervous system.
循证医学在心理治疗领域也变得越来越重要，尽管在心理治疗领域非常严格地遵循循证医学原则时会出现一些问题。30多年前开发的用于治疗抑郁症的人际心理治疗（IPT）可以作为循证心理治疗的一个例子：该概念基于实证观察并形成了手册。此外，在许多临床试验中对其进行了评估，这些试验显示了良好的疗效以及后来的有效性。IPT具有很高的证据水平，被视为成熟的心理治疗方法。心理治疗研究试图指出对不同亚型抑郁症的有效性。此外，还研究了治疗结果与中枢神经系统神经生物学变化之间存在哪些联系。
