Summary: Designed to be used in conjunction with clinical visits, this workbook helps patients plan an exercise programme and provides strategies for following through with exercise goals. The workbook is structured to help prevent mood disturbances from blocking the very activities that can help patients feel better. During the course of this program, situational factors are introduced that have been shown to interfere with establishing a successful exercise routine. With therapist guidance, patients learn how to overcome these factors.
