Question:

A weakness of the cognitive explanation of depression?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Increases the stimage of depression due to them placing the blame on the client -Whilst placing responsibility for their disorder with the client might be helpful, since it provides the power to change the way things aare, there are disadvantages to taking this stance -Eg: it might lead to the client or the therapist to overlook the role of situational factors in developing depression: stressful life events or family problems that could contribute -By applying this explanation, its oversimplisity to consider that depression only exisits in the clients mind, meaning that the real or other aspects of life that might link to depression will go on unchanged
