Answer to Question 1

Beck's theory is that thinking preceded and caused depression. First, people hold dysfunctional beliefs that
predispose them to depression. These are rigid, extreme and unhelpful beliefs about the world. They create
automatic, negative thoughts that center around the cognitive triad - the self, the world and the future. Negative
beliefs and feelings about the triad are maintained by cognitive errors such as all or none reasoning and arbitrary
inference. This theory has been well supported as an explanation for many aspects of depression, but evidence
confirming it as a cause of depression is mixed.

Answer to Question 2

C
