Abstrakt: The present study utilized a comparative psychotherapy outcome design to evaluate the relative therapeutic efficacy of Christian and secular RET with depressed Christian clients. Results showed both treatments significantly reduced depression, automatic negative thinking, irrational thinking, and general pathology. These gains were maintained after three months. There were no significant differential treatment effects. Results are discussed in terms of the implications for accommodation theory.
