The mastery and pleasure technique is a method of cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of depression.[1] Aaron T. Beck described this technique first. The technique is useful when patients are active, but have no pleasure. The patients shall rate on a 5-point-scale (or a 10-point-scale[2]) how much pleasure they have and how successful they are when they do something.[1] The patients record this hourly.[3]
