| Abstrakt: | Behavioral activation therapy is presented as a promising psychological intervention to enhance depression management and related symptoms by increasing engagement in rewarding activities. This study reviews three research endeavors, including randomized controlled trials and a case study. Variability in intervention duration and training approaches is noted, although typically, eight sessions per week were conducted. Therapy components range from participating in pleasurable activities to ongoing support outside sessions. The process of evidence source selection relied on identifying 327 articles across four databases, with three selected for review, utilizing the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. This ensured rigorous eligibility criteria and a structured methodology for data collection. Overall, these findings support the effectiveness and applicability of behavioral activation therapy in treating depression in older adults. Training non-specialized healthcare personnel would improve the overall quality of medical care and facilitate the dissemination of evidence-based therapies. This, in turn, could be crucial in closing the psychotherapeutic care gap that exists in low and middle-income countries.
