Text in Afrikaans / Depression as disorder is an ever-increasing phenomenon. Especially, during
the adolescent years, depression seems to be on the increase. The
developmental phase of adolescence, characterised by a fragile self-esteem,
places high demands on the adolescent. The depressed adolescent frequently
has a negative self-esteem manifesting from the adolescent's belief that the
demands of this phase are inadequately met. It would appear as if the
depressed individual constantly tends to see himself in a negative light. In this
study the focus is on the negative thought processes (cognitive distortions)
demonstrated by the depressed adolescent. The purpose of this study is to
evaluate the effect of cognitive therapy on the self-esteem of the adolescent
and interplay thereof with depression. Beck's psychotherapeutic model is
evaluated in the light of a single case study / Educational Studies / M.Ed.
