Explain how the psychoanalytic perspective and the cognitive perspective view the causes of depression.?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?The psychoanalytic perspective sees depression as linked to unresolved childhood issues of abandonment, rejection, and loss. Psychoanalytically, depression is seen as a symbolic expression of anger. The anger is unconsciously turned inward in the form of self-blame and self-hatred. The cognitive perspective sees depression as the result of cognitive distortions wherein individuals focus on negative aspects and reject positive experiences. These negative views are often not realized by the person who is depressed because the negative views are engaged in, not unconsciously as proposed by psychoanalysis, but automatically.
