In the proposed research, I plan to investigate a novel, theory-based depression treatment, i.e., Exposure-Based Cognitive Therapy, EBCT (Hayes, Beevers, Feldman, Laurenceau, & Perlman, 2005) EBCT has been developed to accomplish more sustainable symptom relief by integrating principles of anxiety therapy (i.e., exposure), as well as emotion-focused therapy (i.e., emotional processing). In our research, we will combine an additive design with process-mechanism strategies, which together allow for greater opportunities to identify specific cau-ses of change. In a randomized-controlled trial (RCT), we will evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted form of EBCT (EBCT-R) in comparison to a cognitive therapy that has the same structure as EBCT-R but is not exposure-/emotion-focused (AUCT). Emotional processing is assumed to be the component of EBCT-R that causes an enhanced long-term efficacy via more substantial schema change. Dysfunctional schemas are assumed to be responsible for information-processing biases that are operative both at the implicit as well at the explicit level of functioning and constitute a vulnerability to depressive responses to specific situations. In the underlying dual-process model of depression (Beevers, 2005) emotional processing is assumed to cause more substantial changes at the implicit level, in addition to the changes at the explicit level being caused by cognitive restructuring. We will examine the assumed mechanisms of change in more detail using various process-research methods. Finally, to further test the consequences of the underlying dual-process model of depression, we will compare depressed and never-depressed and remitted-depressed subjects regarding implicit and explicit processing biases. As we identify further causes of change, those causal agents can be included in developing therapies that should be more efficacious and sustainable.
