Interventions

Behavioral Activationbehavioral

Behavioral Activation included up to 16 weekly 50 minute psychotherapy sessions using BA (Addis \& Martell, 2004; Martell et al., 2001, 2010). Techniques included functional analyses to identify the antecedent and consequential aspects of low mood, and interventions such as monitoring daily activities, assessing pleasure/satisfaction and competence achieved via activities, assigning tasks that induce mastery or pleasure, and reducing skill deficits. Clinicians included postdoctoral fellows in clinical psychology (n = 2) or licensed clinical psychologists (n = 2).
