In this article, the efficacy of both short-term dynamic psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy was compared in terms of modifying the results of the Rorschach test, the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and Dexamethasone Suppression Test. Besides, through the findings, etiological considerations of depression were also investigated The research method was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test for two groups. Subjects were 34 patients subjected to major depressive disorder which have been selected from a group of depressed clients of counseling centers in Sanandaj. The selection was based on a clinical interview using DSM-IV criteria as well as results of the Beck Depression Inventory. Patients were randomly located into short-term psychodynamic and pharmaco therpy groups. Participants were tested before interventions as a pre-test and nine month later as a post-test. Results showed that both treatment methods had identical influences on the Dexamethasone Suppression Test and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (the somatic and cognitive criteria). However, the short-term dynamic psychotherapy had a more efficacy on the symptom remission, designated by the Beck Depression Inventory, and also on the restoration ofpsychosocial functioning, concluded from the Rorschach test. The results, also, indicated that the somatic, cognitive and psychodynamic aspects of depression have a probable interaction, so that intervening one of them influences the others. In terms of proper selection of depressed clients for the various therapeutic strategies, the important result was the similar effects of the short-term dynamic psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, in treating the patients with abnormalities in dexamethasone suppression test.
