Excerpt

This chapter focuses primarily on severe and treatment-resistant depression. However, the methods described here can be applied in CBT with other severe mental illnesses. For example, suicidality in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder can be addressed with the same type of antisuicide plan used in persons with major depression. Also, methods for increasing pleasure and involvement in activities can be modified for use in patients with psychosis who have apathy, social withdrawal, or secondary depression. Thus, this chapter is designed to help clinicians treat patients who have a broad range of depressive symptoms and a variety of diagnoses.
