Behavioral Activation for Depression by Christopher R Martell

Behavioral Activation for Depression by Christopher R Martell

Provides empirically tested tools for helping clients overcome depression by becoming active and engaged in their lives.

- 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
