I think Beck is very intelligent, well mannered and diplomatic - however, I don't think he gives Ellis the credit he deserves for CBT. Ellis, despite being confrontational and controversial was a creative genius and for Beck to write in Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders that he was working on his own theory and that he didn't know about REBT shows a lack of class - Beck didn't arrive with his theory months or even a couple of years later, but roughly 7-9 years after Ellis. Personally, I think Beck took what Ellis did and made it politically correct and was extremely smart in the way he was able to design his approach so that it could be researched. I love Tim Beck, really I do and Prisoners of Hate is a great, great book but cognitive therapy is not all it is cracked up to be although it has its strengths. I don't think people misinterpret reality - I think that is, to use Albert Ellis language, horsesh..
that is right the people do not misinterpret reality intentionally but they tend to have illogical implication in words of Ellis. people not have freedom at all.
He's a very good psychologist, however, i don't like how he catogorizes the non depressed patients as 'normals'. this would infer that the depressed pateints aren't normal and this stigmatizes the depressive group...
@@lamdafinity okay so its a semantics issue. "depressed" isn't a pejorative, it's a disease state. but assuming it somehow is pejorative to imply that being depressed is not normal (statistically it probably is normal to be depressed over a life time), maybe saying neurotypical and neurodivergent would be better? That's what we have nowadays. But even then you're saying that a depressed person is "divergent" and not "typical." Kind of an impractical hill to die on.
I really love this man. I'm very lucky not to have stayed with Freud.
Rest in peace, Master! :(
In this video from a recent Beck Institute workshop Dr. Aaron Beck discusses the origins of his theory of depression.
This was very interesting- thank you for posting!
Thank you!

When the patient says those words at the end, you know you succeded
I just love this man😁
This is excellent!:)
Is depression genetic??
No
No
yes, partially. Quickly look into kendler et al. and you will see that as genetic similarity increase concordance rates for MDD also increase
no, it's typically characterological
Yes !

he means statistically normal, compared to control, it’s science jargon

Normals refers to the control group in an experimental setting.
