The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Positive Affect Treatment (PAT) in a Spanish-speaking population. PAT is a psychotherapy specifically aimed at enhancing reward sensitivity in individuals with low positive affect (a core feature of anhedonia) in the context of depression or anxiety. Target enrollment is 12 participants with low positive affect and depression or anxiety and impaired functioning, between the ages of 18 and 65 years. Participants will complete psychiatric assessments and self-report questionnaires as part of the study. The total length of participation is around 4 months.
