EvaluationLike the behaviourist approach, the cognitive explanation of DB is hopeful as well as focusing on the present and not the past, which is again similar to the behaviourist explanation. Also like the biological and behaviourist approaches, the cognitive explanation is reductionist, except this time it ignores biological and behavioural factors. Unlike the biological approach, however, cognitive psychologists blame the individual for their illogical thoughts, while the biological approach does not. |
