- Cognitive Approach To Explaining Depression
- Beck suggested a cognitive approach to explaining why some people are more vulnerable to depression than others
- Beck Suggested three parts to this cognitive vulnerability
- Faulty Information Processing
- Negative Self Schema
- The Negative Triad
- Faulty Information Processing
- When depressed we tend to dwell on the negatives of a situation and ignore positives
- When depressed we tend to blow small problems out of proportion
- Negative Self Schema
- A schema is a package of ideas and information developed from experiences
- A schema works as a mental framework
- A self schema is a package of information we have about ourselves.
- We use schemas to interpret the world, so if we have a negative self-schema we interpret information about ourselves in a negative way
- Negative Triad
- A person develops a negative view about themselves because of three types of negative thinking, these elements make up a negative triad
- Negative view on the world
- Negative View on the Future
- Negative view on yourself
