Answer 1

Answer: Dr. Alcott's comments are characteristic of the Cognitive-behavioral models of depression

Explanation: We have Janet as an example: some bad things have happened in her life that have scarred her, making her always go back to them and thinking how life has no purpose, life is not worth living or she feels like she is not good enough for certain things, that she has no luck so her mind is set to that kind of mindset, thinking there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

The individuals with this behavioral model have more tendency to develop depression.
