Behavioral Activation Is an Evidence-Based Treatment for Depression

Discuss or comment on this article.
Recent reviews of evidence-based treatment for depression did not identify behavioral activation as an evidence-based practice. Therefore, this article conducted a systematic review of behavioral activation treatment of depression, which identified three meta-analyses, one recent randomized controlled trial and one recent follow-up of an earlier randomized control trial. Behavioral activation was consistently superior to wait list and treatment as usual control groups. Effect sizes were not different from cognitive behavior therapy or cognitive therapy, both post-treatment and at follow-up. Indeed, behavioral activation ma...

Summary The study investigated the experience of widespread pain (WP) symptoms and psychological distress in southern Chinese with orofacial pain (OFP). A community-based, cross-sectional case[ndash]control study involving people aged 35[ndash]70 registered with the Hospital Authority/University of Hong Kong Family Medicine Clinic served as the sampling frame. People with recent OFP symptoms and a group without OFP took part. Standard questions were asked about OFP conditions in the previous month. Psychological status was evaluated through depression, and non-specific physical symptoms (NPS) scores were measured with depr...

Brief treatments for chronic non-malignant pain patients with problematic opioid use are warranted. The aims of the present study were to investigate (1) whether it is possible to withdraw codeine use in such patients with a brief cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), (2) whether this could be done without pain escalation and reduction in quality of life and (3) to explore the effects of codeine reduction on neurocognitive functioning. Eleven patients using codeine daily corresponding to 40[ndash]100 mg morphine were included. Two specifically trained physicians treated the patients with six CBT sessions, tapering codeine g...

Researchers to Investigate Whether More Sleep Can Help Depressed TeensEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Depression in teens could be reduced, say researchers, by something simple, yet often lacking: a good night's sleep.
Teenagers should be getting about nine hours of sleep per night, according to experts, but few do. In fact, the average teen only gets about seven hours of sleep per night. While in the past it was believed that poor sleep was simply a byproduct of depression, thinking on this matter is changing. Chronic sleep deprivation may actually be a cause of depression, experts say.

Reports about the Swine Flu (H1N1 Flu) are constantly on TV, online in the newspapers...we can't escape the news if not the germs. If you feel overwhelmed and confused about the level of danger, you probably are not alone. It is difficult to distinguish the real deal from the hype: "To vaccinate or not to vaccinate," "Flu deaths on the rise," etc. Even the medical community seems somewhat unsure as to the best strategies for handling the threat of the pandemic. Many people are starting to act paranoid. Just today, I saw a face mask on the floor in the subway. Perhaps it's a healthy paranoia (pun intended) to stay away from...

Psychological therapies are effective treatments for reducing the frequency and intensity of symptoms of OCD. Effective psychological treatments for OCD emphasize changes in behavior and/or thoughts. When appropriate, psychotherapy can be done alone or combined with medication. The two main types of psychological therapies for OCD are cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy. (Source: About.com Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

Abstract: Fibromyalgia is a clinical syndrome of chronic widespread pain and reduced pain thresholds to palpation. The pathophysiology remains unknown, but there is increasing evidence that peripheral and central sensitization cause an amplification of sensory impulses that may alter pain perception in fibromyalgia patients. Interventions to treat fibromyalgia should aim at different targets simultaneously in order to reduce peripheral and central sensitization. There are both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches with evidence for effectiveness in the treatment of fibromyalgia and its associated symptoms. Evidenc...

Conclusions: Although alternative explanations exist, these findings suggest that poorer performance on the ROCF and, in turn, poorer response to treatment, particularly among those youths receiving CBT alone, may be due to executive functioning difficulties. Clinicians and researchers should be sensitive to this fact and may warrant modification(s) to existing treatment protocols. Limitations to this study, however, suggest the need for replication and extension of these findings in the future. Depression and Anxiety 0:1-7, 2009. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The Cognitive-Behavioral Relationship Record is a technique designed to help individual psychotherapy clients make sense of chronic relationship problems and to encourage them to experiment with new behavioral solutions.

In addition to its usefulness as a therapeutic techn...

It is increasingly being used with people with learning disabilities, although the evidence base with this population is relatively weak, consisting largely of case studies and case series. There are also controlled trials in anger and de...

Roger's palms are dripping, his breath is hurried and his heart feels as if it is thumping in his chest. He feels a sense of danger but doesn't know what to do. He has a case of the ‘butterflies' and it has his stomach tied in knots. Roger has heard of the term ‘knees knocking' but now it has special significance. Running is not an option, neither is fighting, so what will Roger do and how can he lessen these feelings in the future?These are some of the symptoms that people have to deal with when they have to speak to audiences. I know this because one of the courses I teach is public speaking and students privately an...

In this issue of Patient Education and Counseling, two interesting papers challenge current evidence-based treatments of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In the first study Goudsmit et al. show that a brief multi-component programme aimed at helping CFS patients cope with their illness, may be as effective as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). In the second study Jason et al. demonstrate that CFS patients who carefully stayed within their ‘energy envelope’ (measured by a self-monitoring strategy) did better than patients who were less successful in keeping expended energy close to available energy – a finding that chal...
