CR consisted of 14 individual 50 min-treatment sessions conducted over 4 months. For the first 3 months, treatment sessions were held weekly (sessions 1–12) followed by bi-weekly sessions for the next month (sessions 13–14). Treatment consisted of three separate modules each of which comprised four CR sessions. The modules focused on [1] mood monitoring and treatment of residual depressive symptoms, [2] organization, planning and time management, and [3] attention and memory and were delivered in this order. The first module introduced patients to daily mood monitoring, including standard techniques, such as activity management (e.g., increasing pleasurable and mastery based activities, and more structured social rhythms), problem solving, increasing awareness of negative automatic thoughts and cognitive restructuring thereof. In addition, in this module we also implemented emergency control techniques to prevent job loss if a patient was at risk of loosing his/her current job. The techniques used in the second and third module were in part adapted from Safren et al. [40] and Sohlberg and Mateer [41]. Specifically, in the Organization, Planning and Time Management module, patients used schedule and notebooks, kept daily task lists, and were trained in prioritizing activities, breaking down complex tasks into simpler tasks, and making more realistic time estimations for activities/projects. In addition, patients were trained to become more aware of thoughts interfering with functioning at work (i.e., thoughts reflecting difficulties starting tasks, staying on tasks, completing tasks, etc.) and learned to coach themselves more adaptively in the presence of these thoughts. Finally, in the Attention and Memory module, patients learned techniques to structure tasks around their concentration abilities, deal with both neutral as well as affectively valenced distractions, and were trained in the use of external and internal reminder cues as well as the use of encoding strategies to improve memory. Treatment techniques learned in earlier sessions were carried forward and rehearsed in subsequent sessions. The last two sessions focused on the continued use and maintenance of acquired skills and on relapse prevention.
