Verhaltensaktivierung (Behavioral Activation, BA) ist eine innovative, der sogenannten "Dritten Welle" der Verhaltenstherapie zugehörige Methode der Depressionsbehandlung. BA gründet in der Verstärkerverlusttheorie der Depression und geht davon aus, dass Depression aus belastenden Erfahrungen heraus entsteht und durch Vermeidungsverhalten aufrechterhalten wird. Die Behandlungstechniken beinhalten u. a. Validierungs- und Akzeptanzstrategien sowie den Einsatz von entgegengesetztem Handeln zur Überwindung von Verhaltensblockaden. Das Manual bildet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Fortentwicklung der Verhaltenstherapie. Verständlich und praxisnah geschrieben, beinhaltet es eine Vielzahl von Anwendungsbeispielen und zeigt deutlich die Weiterentwicklung der Methode seit dem von Lewinsohn vorgeschlagenen Aufbau angenehmer Aktivitäten.
