Complete the following case of a depressed patient in such a way that these three elements are explained.Do not simply list DSM criteria or provide definitions of the cognitive processes, but include enough detail to illustrate all three elements.

Although she has never had psychological treatment, she experienced episodes of mild depression three times before in her life. The first episode was 25 years ago when her parents went through a marital crisis. The present episode started when her husband of 15 years left her for a much younger woman. It takes her much more effort than usual to do her job as a nurse……..
Answer keys
- Callousness. Psychopaths lack remorse or guilt concerning their actions, additionally to demonstrating antisocial behavior.
- Higher crime rate amongst adults, associated with lower arousal in childhood.
- Splitting means keeping positive and negative traits of oneself and of others separate. Hence, seeing yourself and others as ‘all good’ or ‘all bad’.
- a) Lab experiments support the theory, as fear can be conditioned + Two thirds of people with a phobia report a conditioning event + More findings can be found in the book
b) Not supporting the theory > One third of people with a phobia do not remember a conditioning event + The majority of people, experiencing a traumatic event, do not develop phobia + More findings can be found in the book Present your own continuation of the case here....
