    What are ‘dysfunctional cognitive structures’?

    Answer:

    Ans.    
    Some negative thoughts develop in the mind due to core schemata established in the childhood. Such negative thoughts are characterised by cognitive distortions.
    Cognitive distortions are ways of thinking which are general in nature but which distort the reality in a negative manner.
    These patterns of thoughts are called dysfunctional cognitive structures.
    They lead to errors of cognition about the social reality.
