This presentation by Frank Padberg, Germany, was recorded on 21 January 2025 at the ECNP Roadmap Meeting on Precision Psychiatry in Frankfurt, Germany.
The talk discusses psychotherapy as a non-pharmacological stratified treatment for depression, emphasising its individualised nature and the importance of validity. It outlines the current state of stratification in psychotherapy, noting its focus on validity over reliability. Padberg presents studies showing the effectiveness of stratified care, including one involving refugees using the PHQ-9. He introduces using childhood maltreatment for stratifying interventions, identifying predictive clusters. Padberg highlights modular psychotherapy's potential and proposes incorporating biomarkers to enhance precision. He concludes that psychotherapy could aid in developing transdiagnostic markers and improving mental health care.
