Document Summary
Ba begins with the assumption that the triggers for any given depressive episode can be most effectively located in the life of the sufferer, rather than deficiencies within that individual. But ba also pay particular attention to the function of these behaviours in the context of an individual"s life. Avoidance patterns tend to increasingly narrow the repertoire of behaviours in which an individual engages and often create secondary problems in an individual"s life. Disruption of the routines may play an important role in depression- zeitgebers- time cues, zeitstorters- time disrupters. Ehlers et al. - one of the reasons that interpersonal psychotherapy for is successful is because it regulates weekly social interaction, and ct because of the behavioural activation components establishing weekly activities. Focused, specific, and operational goals need to be articulated, relating to the modification of avoidance patterns, and then addressing the contextual triggers that may have precipitated depression.
