Summary

The current study will examine neurophysiological, specifically event-related potential (ERP), measures of emotional processing as predictors of response to cognitive behavior therapy for adolescent depression.

Detailed description

Neurophysiological measures (i.e., event-related potentials) of reward responsiveness and regulation of mood-congruent, sad stimuli will be assessed in a sample of adolescents with depression prior to group cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). CBT will follow the Adolescent Coping with Depression Course, an established 16-session group treatment protocol, and consist of behavioral activation, relaxation skills, cognitive therapy, social skills, problem solving, and relapse prevention. Changes in symptoms will be monitored through biweekly self-report and clinician ratings to examine prediction of change in symptoms across CBT. Baseline individual differences in reward responsiveness and emotion regulation will be evaluated as predictors of change in self-reported symptoms and clinician-rated improvement following CBT.
