Beck (1987) came up with the concept of “negative cognitive triad” that describes the pattern that triggers depression. In the first component of the triad, the client exhibits a negative view of himself. He is convinced that he is to blame for whatever pathetic state he is currently in because of his personal inadequacies. Secondly, the client shows a negative view of the world, hence, a tendency to interpret experiences in a negative manner. He nurtures a subjective feeling of not able to cope with the demands of the environment. Third and lastly, the client projects a gloomy vision of the future. He can only anticipate failure in the future.

Beck (1975) developed a model to treat depression. He writes that, in the broadest sense, “cognitive therapy consists of all of the approaches that alleviate psychological distress through the medium of correcting faulty conceptions and self-signals” (p. 214) Specifically, it goes to the root of depressive self-schemata. “Depressive self-schemata have been defined as maladaptive cognitive structures, consisting of networks of information about the self, formed through developmental processes and social learning experiences, that negatively bias information processing and emotional and behavioral responding” (Beck, 1987. Brewer & Nakamura, 1984. Derry & Kuiper, 1981. Kovacs & Beck, 1978. Segal, 1988 as mentioned in Pace and Dixon, 1993, p.288). These negative thoughts then become accepted as true, leading to other negative thoughts.
