Beck’s Cognitive Triad (p. 250)
1.A negative, self-deprecating view of self: “I really never do anything well; everyone else
seems smarter.”
2.A pessimistic view of the world: “Once you're down, you can't get up. Look around,
poverty, homelessness, sickness, war, and despair are every place you look.”
3.The belief that negative reinforcement (or no validation for the self) will continue: “It
doesn't matter what you do; nothing ever gets better. I'll be in this stupid job the rest of
my life.”
