Summary

The primary objective of the proposed pilot study is to seek to compare the efficacy of two brief psychological therapies during inpatient hospitalization - cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) versus Behavioral Activation for Medical Inpatients with Depression (BAMID or BA) - for improving depressive symptoms, functioning, and quality of life (QOL). The treatments will consist of four sessions, which will be delivered during hospitalization.
