Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beck proposed the theory of the negative triad, which refers to the negative views that depressed individuals have towards the world, themselves, and the future. This triad is a result of cognitive distortions, meaning depressed individuals have a skewed perception of reality. Rumination is a symptom of depression that involves obsessively thinking about negative thoughts and experiences. The positive triad is not a concept proposed by Beck.
