Theoretical underpinnings[edit] Methods[edit] One behavioral activation (BA) approach to depression was as follows:[8] participants were asked to create a hierarchy of reinforcing activities which were then rank-ordered by difficulty; participants tracked their own goals along with clinicians who used a token economy to reinforce success in moving through the hierarchy of activities; participants were measured before and after by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and a great effect on their depression was found as a result of their treatment.

The gurus claimed these images would galvanize your determination. They said you could use the power of positive thinking to will success to happen.

Gabriele Oettingen’s psychology lab at New York University has shown that visualizing our aims as already achieved can backfire.

In the study, volunteers felt de-energized after visualizing success in an essay competition.
