He then goes on to describe how depressed individuals commonly have a automatic thought that is related to failure or inadequacy.

This could mean the difference between a husband reacting to his automatic thought and hitting his wife impulsively, or acknowledging the automatic thought and removing himself from the situation before his behaviors escalate.
