Behavioural activation for depression
Overview
This paper outlines the theory, rationale, and evidence base for behavioral activation, a formal therapy for depression that uses activity scheduling to reduce avoidance and refocus patients on valued goals. It is intended for clinicians seeking to understand how to develop formulations that guide this strategy. The text notes that the approach may be easier to train staff in compared to traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy and is applicable in both in-patient and out-patient settings.
