This study systematically reviewed previous theories that are fundamental to behavioral activation and support evidences accumulated over the past 25 years, in order to introduce behavioral activation for depression into the domestic clinical field. Recently, behavioral activation has been recognized as a stand-alone psychotherapy for depression with results supporting comparable effects as antidepressant medications or traditional cognitive therapy. In this comprehensive literature review on behavioral activation, we aimed to introduce the latest definition with a brief history, underlying theories, and core therapeutic components, and to provide information on studies evaluating efficacy, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, we have also summarized the most recent efforts and studies evaluating its effects that have been made to extensively deliver the behavioral activation in various form (e.g., internet based) and to patient groups with diverse comorbidity disorders. Future directions and implications for clinicians and researchers were also discussed to encourage behavioral activation research, including dissemination to the local community.
