Depressive Cognition: Models, Mechanisms, and Methods

  • Chapter
Book cover Contemporary Psychological Approaches to Depression

Abstract

The enthusiasm for the cognitive view of depression is evidenced by the number of major review and commentary papers that have recently appeared (e.g., Blaney, 1986; Coyne, 1982; Coyne & Gotlib, 1983, 1986; Ingram & Reed, 1986; Johnson & Magaro, 1987; Segal & Shaw, 1986a, 1986b), as well as by the perspectives of many of the contributors to this volume. Although the views and conclusions of these authors vary, sometimes substantially, they do chronicle the development and tremendous growth over the last decade of the interest in cognitive mechanisms as they relate to various aspects of depressive functioning.
