Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beck's theories have primarily focused on the role of negative cognitive distortions, such as negative thought patterns and beliefs, in the development and maintenance of depression. While anxiety, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymia may also be influenced by cognitive factors, they are not as strongly emphasized in Beck's work as they are in other theoretical frameworks, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders or the cognitive theory of bipolar disorder.
