Example

Q

Outline and evaluate the cognitive approach to explaining depression (16 marks).
Depression is determined through maladaptive thought processes.
Beck’s negative triad sees three pessimistic thought patterns as underpinning depression.
The negative triad consists of three types of pessimistic thought patterns about the self, the world and the future.
Negative schemes, together with cognitive biases/distortions, such as overgeneralisation, magnification and selective perception, maintain the negative triad.

Ellis’ ABC model sees depression as occurring through an activating agent, a belief and a consequence.
For example, the activating event (A), failing a mock exam, triggers irrational beliefs that are seen to be true (B), you ‘‘can’t do exams and are a failure,’’ and the consequence is that you becomes depressed (C), because you have a negative view of yourself and no confidence in your ability.
In essence, the external event is ‘blamed’ for the unhappiness being experienced.

Both models explain depression as a consequence of faulty, negative thinking about events and suggest it can be managed by challenging this faulty thinking.

The first AO3 PEEL paragraph is that there is research support for Beck’s negative triad.
For example, Boury et al. monitored students’ negative thoughts with the Beck depression inventory, finding that depressives misinterpret facts and experiences in a negative fashion and feel hopeless about the future.
This shows that Beck’s negative triad, and so the cognitive approach to explaining depression, is valid.

The second AO3 PEEL paragraph is that one strength of the cognitive explanation for depression is its application to therapy.
The cognitive ideas have been used to develop effective treatments for depression, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), which was developed from Ellis’s ABC model.

Q

Discuss Beck’s negative triad as an explanation of depression (16 marks).
Depression is determined through maladaptive thought processes.
Beck’s negative triad sees three pessimistic thought patterns as underpinning depression.
The negative triad consists of three types of pessimistic thought patterns about the self, the world and the future.
Negative schemas, together with cognitive biases/distortions, such as overgeneralisation, magnification and selective perception, maintain the negative triad.
The self is where individuals see themselves as being helpless, worthless and inadequate.
The world is where obstacles are perceived within one’s environment that cannot be dealt with.
The future is where personal worthlessness is seen as blocking any improvements.
For example, ‘I will always be useless.’

The first AO3 PEEL paragraph is that there is research support for Beck’s negative triad.
For example, Boury et al. monitored students’ negative thoughts with the Beck depression inventory, finding that depressives misinterpret facts and experiences in a negative fashion and feel hopeless about the future.
This shows that Beck’s negative triad is valid as an explanation of depression.

The second AO3 PEEL paragraph is that one strength of Beck’s negative triad explanation for depression is its application to therapy.
The cognitive ideas have been used to develop effective treatments for depression, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT).
These therapies attempt to identify and challenge negative, irrational thoughts and have been successfully used to treat people with depression, providing further support to Beck’s negative triad as an explanation of depression.

To explain this process, Ellis developed what he referred to as the ABC model.
Ellis’ ABC model sees depression as occurring through an activating agent, a belief and a consequence.
For example, the activating event (A), failing a mock exam, triggers irrational beliefs that are seen to be true (B), you ‘‘can’t do exams and are a failure,’’ and the consequence is that you become depressed (C), because you have a negative view of yourself and no confidence in your ability.
In essence, the external event is ‘blamed’ for the unhappiness being experienced.

The first AO3 PEEL paragraph is that one strength of Ellis’ ABC model as an explanation of depression is its application to therapy.
The cognitive ideas have been used to develop effective treatments for depression, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), which was developed from Ellis’s ABC model.
These therapies attempt to identify and challenge negative, irrational thoughts and have been successfully used to treat people with depression, doing what?​

Q

Discuss Ellis’ ABC model as an explanation of depression (16 marks).
Ellis proposed that good mental health is the result of rational thinking.
Depression is determined through maladaptive thought processes.
Ellis believed that depressives mistakenly blame external events for their unhappiness.
