becks cognitive triad

• beck identified three sorts of maladaptive thinking that depressed people engage in
• negative thoughts about self
• negative thoughts about future
• negative views about the world
• negative schemas


  mental framework built up from past experiences, pessimistic, irrational, generalised
• cognitive biases


  people with depression have these, fixate on negative information which is assimilated into their negative self schema, making it even stronger
