Abstract
The behavioral study of depression has reached its adolescence. As recently as 5 years ago, Becker (1974) observed that the behaviorists had relatively little to say about depression. The first behaviorally oriented single-case studies began to appear in the literature only some 10 years ago (e.g., Burgess, 1969; Johansson, Lewinsohn, & Flippo, 1969; Lazarus, 1968). It was not until 1973 that the first group-design studies appeared in the literature (McLean, Ogston, & Grauer, 1973; Shipley & Fazio, 1973). Thus, the systematic investigation of depression within a behavioral framework is a very recent phenomenon. Since 1973, at least 42 outcome studies of behavioral treatments of depression have been reported, and several major reviews have appeared (e.g., Blaney, 1979; Craighead, 1979; Hollon, 1979; Parloff, Wolfe, Hadley, & Was- kow, 1978; Rehm & Kornblith, 1979; Rush & Beck, 1978). In a short period of time, both the scope and the number of behavioral studies of depression have increased dramatically. Stimulated by the increasing evidence that a variety of structured behavioral and cognitive therapies are effective in ameliorating depression, this prolific activity has resulted in an increased acceptance of such approaches among clinicians.
