Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reattribution training in the context of depression aims to help clients shift their attributions from internal, stable, and global explanations for negative events (which contribute to feelings of helplessness and depression) to attributions that are more external, unstable, and specific. This involves changing their perspective to see that not all negative outcomes are their fault (external), that situations can change (unstable), and that these circumstances don't apply to every aspect of their lives (specific). Therefore, it encompasses positive, unstable, and external attributions.
