Behavioral activation (BA) is an established treatment for depression in older adults, yet BA has been relatively less examined as a treatment for the negative symptoms (NS) of schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). We here aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and proof‐of‐concept that BA can improve NS and function in older adults with SSD. We also evaluated if changes in putative targets correlate with health improvements.
Smagula et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
