Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of paroxetine versus interpersonal psychotherapy and a combination of the two in helping elderly patients with depression remain well and improve quality of their lives
Detailed Description: This is primarily a study of maintenance therapies not a study of acute therapeutic efficacy in late-life major depression The study aims to identify factors that encourage maintenance of treatment gains and to identify which patients need which kinds of treatment to remain well The following questions are to be addressed

Is the probability of recurrence different among the treatment groups
What variables may be related to or predictive of differences among groups
After 1 to 2 years of maintenance therapy will patients assigned to maintenance combined treatment with both paroxetine and interpersonal psychotherapy remain well at higher rates than patients assigned to paroxetine alone interpersonal psychotherapy alone or placebo
Will the time to recurrence differ across treatment groups and what variables may be related to or predictive of time to recurrence

The major study hypothesis is that combined treatment with paroxetine and interpersonal psychotherapy will be superior to either treatment alone and to placebo in preventing recurrence of major depressive episodes in patients aged 70 and above
