Abstract

Cognitive behaviour modification incorporates procedures aimed at changing clients feelings and actions by modifying what they say to themselves, or think. It is assumed that such self-statements determine, to some extent, emotion and behaviour. The experiments reported sought to examine this assumption in depression, i.e., to what extent do patients feel depressed because they think depressing thoughts? Beck's cognitive theory of depression suggests disordered thinking is the primary cause of depression.
