Sources look good, lean towards include modern (last 10 years).
  • Organization: will need to be thoughtful about organization and sub-sections, starting with definition and most important information at the top. Remember that people hop around in reading Wikipedia articles, so make each little section as independent as you can
  • Methods: what kind of research supports these theories? Some sections will need more method details than others, helpful to keep in mind these descriptions: 3 research methods (experiments vs correlation vs descriptive); 2 data-collection (self-report vs observation); 2 research settings (lab vs field)
  • Figures and tables: be thoughtful. Wikicommons has lots of pictures that might be useful. You cannot copy directly from journal articles (copyright violation), but you can recreate a figure and then donate it yourself.

Hi Ashley, this seems like an interesting topic overall, and I'm excited to see what you do with it!

My main comments are about the format of your additions, so I'm including a possible outline that I came up with based on your source topics. I hope it will be helpful!

Section 1: Overview of depression

  • General background--when did depression begin to count as a psychological disorder? How is it defined by the DSM V?
  • Symptoms of depression--what are they, and have they evolved over time?
  • Perhaps address in the broader scheme of abnormal psychology?

Section 2: Behavioral approach and theories

  • Behavioral treatment of depression--how would you define it? how does it differ from other forms of treatment?
  • Methods of behavioral treatment--how does reinforcement of positive behavior differ from the taking away of maladaptive behaviors?
  • Interpersonal exchanges in treatment--what role does communication between people (or groups) play in the success of a treatment? How common and/or successful is group therapy?

Section 3: Individual differences in responding to behavioral therapy

  • Personality differences
  • Differences in value systems
  • Gender differences--it seemed like several of your sources highlighted these, so I would focus on WHY there is a difference, if at all.

Section 4: Implications

  • What are the potential long and short term benefits of behavioral therapy? Are there new developments in the field?

Good luck with everything! --Julia --Juwatkins (talk) 20:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
