Dr.janus is seeing a client dr. janus is seeing a client diagnosed with depression who experienced abuse as a child. he believes that this abuse predisposed the client to overreact to life's difficult circumstances. as a result, her recent breakup resulted in a depressed state. his perspective on his client's problems seem to be most consistent with the diathesis-stress model

Answer 1

This is a true statement. The diathesis-stress model states that there are certain predisposing factors that make it more likely that a person will react in a certain way when a stressor is introduced. The predisposition makes the person more vulnerable to these stresses, and protective factors will take effect as a way for the person to try to negate these stressors.
