Genom att ändra sina beteenden kan man också förbättra sitt mående.Det är en av grundprinciperna i beteendeaktivering (BA) vid depression. BA är en evidensbaserad, lösningsfokuserad och väl strukturerad beteendeterapeutisk metod som visat goda resultat på deprimerade patienter.I BA arbetar man systematiskt med att hjälpa patienter att förändra sitt beteende så att de kan komma i kontakt med sidor av tillvaron som ökar engagemanget och livsenergin. Behandlingen inleds med en kartläggning av specifika beteenden som kan bidra till att bryta det depressiva tillståndet. Därefter lägger patient och terapeut upp ett skräddarsytt schema och följer detta i stället för att handla utifrån tillfälligt mående. Patienten får strategier för att minska undvikandebeteenden samt tekniker för återfallsprevention. Boken introducerar läsaren till teori, praktik och forskning rörande beteendeaktivering vid depression och innehåller även fallexempel och behandlingsupplägg.Denna andra utökade upplaga innehåller bland annat:• En uppdatering av forskningen på området• Ett kapitel om transdiagnostisk behandling och nya behandlingskontexter• Nya skalor för mätning av klientens framsteg och terapeutens metodtrohetBeteendeaktivering vid depression vänder sig i första hand till blivande och verksamma psykoterapeuter och andra yrkeskategorier som möter psykisk ohälsa.
