Beck's cognitive triad, also known as the negative triad,[1][2] is a cognitive-therapeutic view of the three key elements of a person's belief system present in depression. It was proposed by Aaron Beck in 1967.[3] The triad forms part of his cognitive theory of depression[4] and the concept is used as part of CBT, particularly in Beck's "Treatment of Negative Automatic Thoughts" (TNAT) approach. Examples of this negative thinking include: The self – "I'm worthless and ugly" or "I wish I was different" The world – "No one values me" or "people ignore me all the time" The future – "I'm hopeless because things will never change" or "things can only get worse!"
