Answer:

Cognitive model.

Explanation:

The statement of Dr. Alcott and his comments are characteristics of the cognitive model's perspective as this model describes how people's perceptions or thoughts of particular situations, experiences, etc. reflect on their emotions and behaviors. We can see this in the statement: "Your depression may be due to your misperception of this unfortunate situation and your tendency to blame yourself for events that are beyond your control. What we need to do is help you to recognize and modify your irrational beliefs." Janet is affected by her own thoughts and her irrational belief that she is to blame for events that weren't her fault.
