| Abstract: | In this article, we briefly consider the phenomenon of depression from a behavior analytic perspective. Then, we describe the history of behavior analytic conceptualizations and treatments for depression with an emphasis on how these conceptualizations and treatments may have failed due to a lack of adherence to two basic behavior analytic principles: (I) Idiographic, functional assessment, and (II) In-vivo application of interventions. Finally, we discuss more two recent conceptualizations—Behavioral Activation by Martell, Addis & Jacobson (2001) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy by Kohlenberg & Tsai (1991)—that we see as improvements over earlier models in terms of basic principles and may hold promise for the future. |
