1. Research indicates that depression is best treated using a combination of drugs and psychological interventions. 2. The Beck psychological model of depression has led to a specific treatment formulation. 3. Beck sees the dysfunctional cognitions which arise in how person sees him- or herself, the world, the future, as contributory to the illness. 4. Research using both qualitative and quantitative analysis has shown cognitive therapy to be an effective form of treatment for depression.
