Neurological Changes Associated With Behavioral Activation Treatment For Depression (BATD) Using A Functional MRI Reward Responsivity Paradigm
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine functional brain activity in two demographically matched depressed women following their participation in a Behavioral Activation Treatment for Depression (BATD; Hopko & Lejuez, 2007) or Pragmatic Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PPP;...
