“…We limit our discussion here to the assignment of the monitoring. Review of monitoring with the client in the subsequent session is equally important for motivation, but we believe it is extensively addressed in the manual and in a manuscript outlining the use of motivational interviewing techniques when implementing BATD‐R (Balán, Lejuez, Hoffer, & Blanco, in press)…”

Objective This article aims to provide supportive guidance for clinicians using the brief behavioral activation treatment for depression - revised (BATD-R) manual. Expanding upon key points less explicitly addressed in the treatment manual, the goal is to convey practical wisdom and clinical nuance beyond that available in the manual, thereby enhancing therapist comfort with the approach and improving treatment delivery. Methods In preparation for a randomised control trial of behavioural activation treatment for depression among substance users (the Activate Study), Professor Carl Lejuez, an author on the manual, provided training to our research team. This occurred over four days in May 2013 at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre in Sydney, Australia and involved in-depth discussion about treatment delivery, often addressing important issues implied but not addressed in-depth in the manual. Reflections were discussed throughout training and subsequently collated into key themes. Results Intricacies associated with treatment delivery were identified. Seven key themes emerged, covering: provision of the treatment rationale; therapeutic alliance and self-disclosure; behaviour monitoring; values; angles and steps; contracts; and drawing from other therapeutic approaches. A detailed discussion of how to approach these themes in treatment forms the basis of this article. Conclusions The current article seeks to guide therapists and provide a supplement to the BATD-R manual that will enhance the flexibility and accessibility for therapists utilising this treatment. The suggestions made are useful for straightforward cases of depression and more complicated comorbid presentations, serving as a useful complement for therapists using the manual.

“…MI strategies have been recommended for use in LMICs (WHO, 2016), and BA strategies are also increasingly being employed in low-resourced settings in HICs (Daughters et al, 2008) and LMICs, particularly for delivery by lay providers (Patel et al, 2017). This study builds on this work by exploring the combination in Kenya and by weaving MI into the entire treatment (Balán et al, 2016). Findings demonstrate the ability to design and deliver an intervention that takes this approach with lay providers in a low-resource context.…”

Men’s depression, alcohol use, and family problems commonly co-occur to create of cluster of mental health problems. Yet, few treatments exist to address these problems, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper describes the development and initial feasibility and acceptability of a novel task-shifted intervention to address this cluster of men’s mental health problems with a focus on engaging and retaining men in treatment. The intervention, Learn, Engage, Act, Dedicate (LEAD), is based in behavioral activation blended with motivational interviewing and was pilot tested in Kenya. To develop LEAD, we engaged in a community-engaged multi-step, collaborative process with local Kenyan stakeholders. LEAD was piloted with nine fathers reporting problem drinking. To assess initial feasibility and acceptability, recruitment and participation were tracked and descriptive statistics were generated given engagement of men was key for proof of concept. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The development process resulted in a weekly 5-session intervention rooted in behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, and masculinity discussion strategies. These approaches were combined and adapted to fit contextually salient constructs, such as the importance of the man as provider, and streamlined for lay providers. Feasibility and acceptability results were promising with high attendance, acceptability of delivery and intervention content, and perceived intervention helpfulness. Results describe an acceptable task-shifted treatment that may engage men in care and addresses a cluster of common mental health problems among men. Findings set the stage for a larger trial.

The goal of the intervention is to reduce the negative symptoms of people with schizophrenia. The assessments used were interviews, observations, and psychological tests which included graphic tests (BAUM, DAP, HTP), WAIS, and SSCT. The client’s problem is that he loses the pleasure of doing daily activities that used to be fun or made him happy. The intervention uses Behavioral Activation Therapy by providing a daily activity schedule. The results of the intervention show a decrease in symptoms of anhedonia, marked by an increase in daily client activities including bathing twice a day, being on time in taking medication, praying and helping with homework
