Behavioral Activation for Depression by Christopher R Martell

Behavioral Activation for Depression by Christopher R Martell

*Evidence based: behavioral activation (BA) has been demonstrated effective in clinical research; more studies are underway. *BA fits easily with CBT and other therapies, and can be used either as a stand-alone or an adjunctive treatment. *Vivid case examples show how each phase of therapy works. *Practical features include realistic troubleshooting tips plus over 20 reproducibles. *BA is growing in popularity; the authors are among its leading proponents.

- Useful....In a way, all clinicians treating depressed patients should practice some kind of behavioral activation, eg, having patients schedule physical activities and reviewing their gradual increments with patients. Thus, this text could help us in this practice. Those practicing behavioral therapies or those collaborating with or supervising BA therapists will also find this volume informative and useful. --Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, 5/3/2011ƒƒ This work is clearly a labor of love, and its strengths shine through. Multiple patient scenarios are explored....Step-by-step instructions are provided as well as detailed examples of possible homework assignments and how a patient might complete them....It is easily digestible, even for the busiest of practitioners....Well written and easy to read, and it would be a helpful addition to the library of most therapists. It could easily be used as a teaching tool in therapy classes for psychologists and psychiatrists alike. I highly recommend it. --Psychiatric Services, 8/3/2012
