As a consequence, someone with depression engages less frequently in pleasant or satisfying activities and obtains less positive reinforce ment than someone without depression . Lewinsohn et al (1976) developed the first Behavioural treatment of depression , in which patients increased the number of both pleasant activities and positive interactions with their social environment. Several promising trials were conducted but these were forgotten with the emergence of cognitive therapy for depression in the et al (1996) set up an important study to assess the value of the components of cognitive therapy.
