The treatment outlined in this therapist guide is intended for
people suffering from depression and living with chronic illnesses.
As a result of their poor health, many individuals who are
chronically ill become depressed and fail to maintain steady
self-care routines. Using this guide, therapists can help clients
with chronic illnesses to develop core skills and tecniques that
will enable them to take better care of themselves. The program
incorporates a unique Life-Steps module that teaches clients
strategies for keeping up with their medical regimens, including
tips for remembering to take medications, getting to medical
appointments on time, and communicating effectively with medical
providers. Based on the principles of CBT, this guide provides
therapists with overviews of adherence behaviours for select
illnesses including cancer, HIV, diabetes, and hypertension, among
others. The chapters detail adherence skills, integrated with
cognitive and behavioural strategies for managing depression such
as managing pleasurable activities, adaptive thinking,
problem-solving, and relaxation training. The guide concludes with
suggestions on how clients can manage their illnesses and avoid
relapse into behaviours that worsen their medical condition.
