CBT Enhanced With Social Cognitive Training

The cognitive behavioral therapy is based on Beck's cognitive therapy model for the treatment of depression. We will conduct individual therapy based on the Coping with Stress manual used in other depression treatment studies with adolescents. In addition, the investigators will teach the teen explicitly about theory of mind and social perspective taking during each session and we will use examples from their own life to help them learn the skills.
