OBJECTIVE This study investigates the feasibility of outpatient psychotherapeutic depression-treatment for home living older adults in need of care within the German health-care system. METHODS PSY-CARE is a manual based, pragmatic randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of short-term behavioural therapy for home living adults aged 60+ with clinical depression and need of care. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Our results suggest that health policy should implement home-visits, interprofessional cooperation and involvement of relatives as standard outpatient psychotherapy elements. Specialised geropsychological training for psychotherapists is needed.
