who participated in the treatment studies of relapse prevention cognitive-behavioral therapy (RP-CBT) This work would not have been possible without their time, energy, effort, and input Our work with them inspired many of the examples, as well as the fine-tuning of skills included in this book In addition, we are grateful to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), who provided the funding for the clinical trials that led to the development of this treatment approach (NIMH R34 MH072737, principal investigator: B Kennard; NIMH R01 MH39188, principal investigators: G Emslie and B Kennard) We would like to acknowledge the original RP-CBT Development Team—Betsy D Kennard, PsyD, Sunita Stewart, PhD, Jennifer L Hughes, PhD, Puja Patel, PhD, Avery Hoenig, PhD, and Jessica Jones, MA—who were instrumental in developing the initial intervention Additionally, we would like to thank Graham J Emslie, MD, who was the co-principal investigator for the NIMH R01 randomized controlled trial to test RP-CBT Given his experience in testing and developing continuation-phase treatments for youth depression, his input was invaluable in developing our approach to the clinical care of these children and their families We are also grateful to the many therapists, co-investigators, study coordinators, and graduate students who contributed to the success of this work: Taryn Mayes, MS, Jeanne

(Review Questions from the Session) What are behavioral coping skills—which types work for you? Why should we monitor mood? Why is it important in relapse prevention? Case Example: Session In the second session, Lily brings in her completed Mood Monitor Log and sleep diary After setting the session agenda, Lily and the therapist review the practice assignments In reviewing the Mood Monitor Log, it became clear that Lily’s lower mood ratings were associated with conflict at home In addition, the sleep diary indicated problematic sleep habits, including napping during the day and using her cell phone in bed to use social media Lily reported continued improvement in mood, with less sadness, but also described continued irritability, in particular with her sister She rated her average mood as a “5” on a 1–10 scale, with 10 being the worst mood 68 Self-Beliefs: • When I feel sad, I notice Past Why does everything good happen to my sister? • It’s never going to get any better • No one likes me • This school sucks • Negative Automatic Thoughts: Still fight a lot with sister (irritability) Nothing is as fun as it used to be, and I still hang out alone a lot Take care of my dog No naps after school Be more social Get along better with sister My Goals Sing Future Things I well: Draw Present Napping every day Ways that I know I am still feeling down: FIGURE 6.1. Lily’s completed timeline during Session Take more naps Feel sadder Angrier to my sister and parents My drawings become dark Nothing is fun anymore; I want to stay in my room My grades go down, and it’s hard to concentrate I moved to a new school in 6th grade • My sister made Student Council, and I ran for office and did not win • I got into a fight with a friend on text, and the friend said she would no longer hang out with me Stressors: No naps Obstacles and Future Challenges: Social media Ride bike, walk dog, meet friends Art project Study in kitchen Coping Skills and Positive Self-Talk: Session 2 69 The therapist introduced the behavioral coping strategies as a way to reduce irritability and improve mood The therapist commented that this set of skills could be particularly helpful given Lily’s reported irritability and tied this idea to Lily’s agenda item of getting along better with her parents and sister Lily and the therapist noted that irritability had been listed as a residual symptom on her timeline (see Figure 6.1) The therapist and Lily reviewed the five categories of behavioral activation skills, and Lily was able to identify several activities to fit within each of these categories: • Distracting and fun: being on social media, watching TV series and movies • Relaxing and soothing: hot bath, reading a book • Expending energy: riding bike, taking dog for a walk • Social: texting a friend, going to mall with a friend • Mastery: art project The therapist and Lily planned how these activities could be used over the coming week to improve mood In addition, they planned how she could use these strategies in response to irritability or conflict at home They developed a specific homework/ practice plan for the following week Lily and the therapist ended the session by planning for the family session Lily stated that she thinks her parents still don’t understand her depression The therapist helped her identify ways that her parents could be more supportive They agreed to this in the family session FIGURE 6.2. Postcard reminder after Session 70 CBT for Depression in Children and Adolescents In the family session, the therapist collaboratively set the agenda, which included further psychoeducation about depression Lily introduced behavioral coping skills to her parents and how they are relevant to her treatment and continued prevention of relapse The therapist highlighted the connection between problem communication behaviors and negative emotion and the risk for relapse In the family session, the therapist worked with the parents and Lily to collaboratively determine ways to provide support to Lily They discussed parents’ expectations for Lily at home, which included wanting Lily to spend more time with the family, wanting her to stop taking so many naps, and requiring her to have planned study time daily at the kitchen table The therapist and Lily worked with the family to call a truce on questions about schoolwork and grades and planned a few specific family behavioral coping activities for the week, including a family bike ride, game night, and breakfast at Grandma’s on Sunday The therapist met with Lily’s parents briefly at each visit to obtain input about her progress and to answer questions about the skills handouts provided to the parents at each session A postcard reminder of the session content, which included a review of applying skills (see Figure 6.2), was sent before the next session 71 Self-Care Self-Acceptance Social Success Self-Goals What I did for fun Things that I was My short-term Sleep—What time Positive statements that I good at and long-term I went to bed goals Exercise—Time I say to myself spent in activity Food—Things I eat Spiritual Soothing Times I spent What I did to in reflection or relax doing something for others From CBT for Depression in Children and Adolescents: A Guide to Relapse Prevention by Betsy D Kennard, Jennifer L Hughes, and Aleksandra A Foxwell Copyright © 2016 The Guilford Press Permission to photocopy this handout is granted to purchasers of this book for personal use or use with individual clients (see copyright page for details) Purchasers can download additional copies of this handout (see the box at the end of the table of contents) Day Wellness Log Handout 6.1 72 10 From CBT for Depression in Children and Adolescents: A Guide to Relapse Prevention by Betsy D Kennard, Jennifer L Hughes, and Aleksandra A Foxwell Copyright © 2016 The Guilford Press Permission to photocopy this handout is granted to purchasers of this book for personal use or use with individual clients (see copyright page for details) Purchasers can download additional copies of this handout (see the box at the end of the table of contents) Feeling Happy How you know where your mood is?
