The triad involves negative thoughts about:
The self (i.e., self is worthless)
The world/environment (i.e., world is unfair) and
The future (i.e., future is hopeless).

Dr. Aaron Beck was among the first to outline what he termed the ?cognitive triad? of negative thinking that often accompanies depression. The three components of the triad include one?s view of the world, oneself, and the future. People who are depressed tend to view the things around them negatively, evaluate themselves as unworthy and flawed, and view the future with caution and pessimism.
