Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Positive Affect TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals randomized to the intervention will participate in 20 therapy visits. Before each therapy visit, the participant will meet briefly with a member of the research staff, who will measure weight (blind to the participant) and administer the CHEDS, PANAS, and a pre-session feedback form that will assess how helpful the skills learned in the prior session had been over the past week. After the session, the participant will complete the post-session feedback form, which will assess how helpful the skills he or she perceived the skills from this session to be. These procedures will take approximately 10 minutes. Each intervention session will take approximately 50 minutes to complete. Therefore, each intervention visit will be approximately 1 hour long. Therapy sessions will take place either in the private office of a study therapist or in a consultation room of the Ambulatory Research Center.
Group II: WaitlistActive Control1 Intervention
For participants randomized to the waitlist control, the opportunity will be offered to participate in the intervention following the second assessment (20 weeks following their Baseline assessment).
