We give a brief overview of the subjective body in psychodynamic psychotherapies and the evidence regarding the efficacy of psychodynamic treatments addressing the subjective bodily experience in depression. The subsequent review then aimed at identifying the interventions applied within psychodynamic treatments taking an embodied perspective in the treatment of depression while also aggregating findings on their average efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review was carried out on RCTs comparing psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDP) addressing the subjective body to control conditions or bona fide therapies, the latter are therapies that have shown their efficacy in a broad context already. Outcomes were analyzed quantitatively using random effects models. The main characteristics of the applied treatment models were summarized narratively from the underlying intervention descriptions. Findings on the treatment models were structured in clusters according to their theoretical embedding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eleven Trials matched the inclusion criteria with a total of 1,624 patients.

Compared to bona fide therapies no differences were detected post-treatment when applying two-one-sided-tests [SMD\u202f=\u202f0.08,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.039, 90% CI (\u22120.064, 0.23)].
