Q

What is behaviour activation therapy?

A

It is a talking therapy that encourages patients to use behaviour in influencing their emotional state

The therapist works with the patient to identify activities that they are avoiding and discuss the unintended consequences which may result from this

Once this has been identified, an activity schedule is constructed to encourage the patient to challenge this

This helps the patient to plan more activities they enjoy doing, to develop their social skills or to track their own emotions and activities

Q

What is interpersonal therapy (IPT)?

A

It is a talking therapy that helps patients identify and address problems in their relationships with family, partners and friends.

The therapist works with the patient to construct an ‘interpersonal map’, which establishes relationships critical to that patient and difficulties in these relationships which may be contributing to depressive symptoms

Once this has been identified, the therapists sets the patients ‘informal’ goals to improve interpersonal functioning

A

It involves the therapist supporting self-efficacy, in which they accentuate that patient’s strengths and what they have been successful in
