This dataset includes psychotherapy vs. control (psy vs ctr) comparisons. Effect sizes are provided for depression outcomes at post-test. It includes one type of effect size calculation per study, giving priority to means and standard deviations at post-test, followed by change scores, binary outcomes, and other statistics.
