Discussion
According to the assumptions of cognitive therapy how do feelings of anxiety and depression develop in a person?
Answer: D
In cognitive therapy, anxiety and depression are understood to arise from negative automatic thoughts, which are quick, habitual and unexamined thoughts that come to mind in situations (Beck). 'Regulated', 'volunteer' and 'rational' do not describe these thoughts. Negative automatic thoughts are neither chosen nor reasoned, which is why they are the target of the therapy.
Beck described these thoughts as arising automatically, as for example 'I am a failure', and treated them as the cause of depression and anxiety.
