Behavioral activation (BA) is a third generation behavior therapy for treating depression. ''' Behavioral activation primarily emphasizes engaging in positive and enjoyable activities to enhance one's mood. ''' It is one form of functional analytic psychotherapy, which is based on a Skinnerian psychological model of behavior change, generally referred to as applied behavior analysis. This area is also a part of what is called clinical behavior analysis (CBA) and makes up one of the most effective practices in the professional practice of behavior analysis. The technique can also be used from a cognitive-behavior therapy framework.
