- The cognitive explanation evaluation
- doesn't cause upset by looking at past events
- supported by evidence- patients report cognitive thinking
- therapy used by NHS and is effective so the model is valid
- reductionist as it doesn't include other factors so it gives a limited understanding
- hard to measure thoughts accurately so evidence may not be reliable
- it blames the patient which can increase the problem of depression
