Implementation of Behavioral Activation within a Care Pathway for Adolescent Depression at an Academic Medical Center
This paper describes the implementation of Behavioral Activation (BA) as the core psychotherapy treatment within a broader clinician-led effort to establish a care pathway for adolescent depression in an academic medical center that served public and private hospital systems. This quality improvement effort required a standardized yet flexible approach to psychotherapy to be used by clinicians with a range of experience and training backgrounds while serving diverse clinical populations in child psychiatry and pediatric clinics. This paper highlights implementation of BA in treating adolescent depression across these varying systems. In particular, the paper emphasizes the application of BA as a principle-driven, treatment that enables flexibility across settings while remaining rooted in scientific evidence. The paper also reviews lessons learned from this effort that may support efforts to implement BA in other clinical settings and systems.

An exploration of the relationships between patient application of CBT skills and therapeutic outcomes during a two-week CBT treatment
The application of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills are believed to be a mechanism of therapeutic change in treatment. Research has shown that the application of CBT skills affects outcomes, however, the way these relationships may change during treatment has not been explored. In this study, a naturalistic observational approach is used to examine the relationships between patients’ wellbeing, symptoms, and the application of CBT skills throughout treatment. It is hypothesized that the application of CBT skills would lead to an increase in patients reported wellbeing, and a decrease in symptoms. Additionally, it was hypothesized that the application of CBT skills affects wellbeing and symptoms at different points in therapy. A sample of 584 patients in a two-week CBT treatment completed session-to-session measures of wellbeing, symptoms, and their application of CBT skills. Results of an autoregressive cross-lagged path analysis indicated that in the early stages of treatment the application of CBT skills predicted patient wellbeing but not symptoms. At the later stages of therapy, the application of CBT skills predicted both patient wellbeing and symptoms. At no point in treatment did patient wellbeing or symptoms predict the later application of CBT skills. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.
