Selective abstraction
text:
In clinical psychology, selective abstraction is a type of cognitive bias or cognitive distortion in which a detail is taken out of context and believed whilst everything else in the context is ignored. It commonly appears in Aaron T. Beck's work in cognitive therapy. Another definition is: "focusing
on only the negative aspects of an event, such as, 'I ruined the whole recital because of that one mistake'".
