P - Limitation of ABC Model , may not explain cause of depression
May only be a correlational link between depression and irrational thoughts , correlation cannot establish cause and effect
Intervening Variables - poverty , genetics , environment - ignored
Limitation because by ignoring other factors it may not be a full explanation lowering validity as it cannot be used to universally explain depression
D - Furthermore , simplifying cause of depression down to irrational thoughts / beliefs is very reductionist due to the ignorance of other factors
