Depression is known to be associated with increased functional dependence both in the community and in a hospital setting. An innovative interdisciplinary behavioral treatment of depression protocol is described here. Occupational therapists were trained to deliver a protocol of behavioral treatment techniques during their individual occupational therapy treatment sessions. Methods of training the occupational therapists and a description of the treatment are provided in this article. These methods insure that behavioral treatment is delivered accurately and regularly. An outline of each session is provided, and two case examples are described. Early results indicate that this form of treatment can be reliably and accurately carried out.
