Behavioral therapy is sometimes also referred to as cognitive-behavioral therapy. In this approach, depression is believed to develop from changes in behavior. The goal is to increase the person's engagement in positive or socially reinforcing activities. Behavior therapy is a structured approach that carefully measures what the person is doing and then seeks to increase chances for positive experience.

Pros:
Cons: Unfortunately exacerbates the causal factors behind the behavior, thus stimulating increased behavioral expression.

As mentioned, the essential problem with the behavioral approach is that it focuses on the obvious physical symptoms, which is what the MIND intends one to do, and thus, misses the causal facrtors which need to be discovered if the symptom behaviors are to be eliminated.
