The cognitive
model
- The cognitive model is a
psychological model perceiving
mental disorders as due to negative
thoughts and illogical beliefs.
- The cognitive model was created
by Aaron Ellis and Albert Beck as a
challenge to the behavioural model.
- The cognitive model perceives mental disorders as
being due to distorted and irrational thought
processes, which are referred to as cognitive errors.
- The cognitive triad is the three types of illogical
thought processes which result in irrational, negative
feelings about oneself and lead to depression.
- The cognitive triad:
- 1. Negative feelings about
themselves ('nobody loves me').
- 2. Negative feelings
about the future ('I will
always be useless').
- 3. Negative
feelings about
the world.
- 1. Negative feelings about
themselves ('nobody loves me').
- Armfield asked participants to visualise a
spider. The participants were then
assigned to different conditions of how
dangerous/predictable the spider was and
how much control they had of the situation.
- Those who believed the spider
was dangerous and
unpredictable, and believed
they could not get away scored
highest on fear of spiders.
- This suggests
that it is our
beliefs that
determine how
cognitively
vulnerable we
are to anxiety,
thus supporting
the cognitive
model.

- Evaluation.
- Research
supports that many
people suffering
from anxiety and
depression do not
have irrational
thought
processes.

victim-blaming,
it says that a
person's
mental
disorder is
their own fault
for having the
wrong
thoughts.

empowers
individuals
by
perceiving
them as
having the
ability to
change
their own
cognitions.
