Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

LETS ACT Behavioral Activation Treatment

LETS ACT is based on the empirically validated Behavioral Activation Treatment for Depression (BAT-D; Lejuez, Hopko, \& Hopko, 2001). Treatment includes eight sessions over a four-week period and is provided in small group format, with each group consisting of 3-5 patients.

BEHAVIORAL

Nondirective Therapy (NDT)

The purpose of Nondirective Therapy (NDT) is to provide group therapy interaction, allowing for the development of a close therapeutic relationship and a safe and accepting environment to facilitate change. NDT will be conducted as outlined by Crits-Cristoph (1997). That is, the therapist will create an accepting, nonjudgmental, empathic environment to continuously direct client attention to primary feelings, and to facilitate accepting of affective experience using supportive statements, reflective listening, and empathic communications. Patients will received NDT in a small group format (3-5 participants) and will meet over the course of 4 weeks.
