Beck’s cognitive therapy is based on the idea that emotional and psychological disturbances result from maladaptive beliefs. In the course of developing his theories, Beck coined a term that refers to a way in which depressed people slant objective reality to support self-deprecating thoughts. What is that term?
  1. Faulty conceptions
  2. Logical errors
  3. Automatic thoughts
  4. Self-signals
Explanation
Answer: B - Logical errors, according the Beck’s theory, are ways in which depressed people slant objective reality to support self-deprecating thoughts. This involves a biased interpretation of an event that does not adhere to logic, such as someone getting a B on an exam and concluding that they do not know the subject of the test at all.
