Abstract
Cognitive-behavioral approaches have been found effective in the treatment of depression. In order to maximize the efficiency and flexibility of cognitive-behavioral treatment, the therapist can use of a series of interrelated therapy modules focused on different aspects of treatment. The present manuscript describes the module for improving social functioning in depressed clients. Suggestions are provided for guiding therapy to help clients increase their social activity, reduce the interpersonal conflict in their lives, and learn to adjust to loss and change resulting from stressful life events. Therapy of depression may be facilitated when the present module is used in combination with other modules focused on the assessment of depression severity and suicide risk (see Part I in this Journal), reducing cognitive biases in depressed clients, and enhancing problem-solving skills in clients.
