Cognitive therapy - is one of the most popular and successful methods, which is based on facilitating adaptation of the client - both social and personal - by changing the personal beliefs that hinder this adaptation.Certainly, the use of psychotherapeutic method requires considerable labor doctor, but almost always brings success.
Cognitive therapy was invented in the early 20th century by Aaron Beck.This person believed that many psychological problems the customer may arise due to the fact that it builds the wrong conclusions that distort the true picture of the world.The reason - the so-called "automatic thoughts" - the thoughts that arise in the evaluation of a person experienced situation.And they can cause inappropriate behavior.
a result of these "automatic thoughts" many people can form incorrect stereotypes.The most likely form of their childhood, and it is their hardest to destroy.
goal pursued cognitive therapy - it helps in getting rid of stereotypes, learning the correct analysis of the situation, the definition of their own interpretation of different situations and its causes.
psychology, using a cognitive approach, we have a long time to study the patient as to help him get rid of the wrong beliefs, need to understand how this man thinks, why and how he developed such beliefs.
To better understand the essence of cognitive therapy, it is advisable to learn at least one example of how the cognitive approach in psychology can make life easier for the person.
Suppose a man comes to a psychologist, who suffers from headaches that arise when his experience certain emotions.To help him, the doctor asks the client to keep a detailed diary - which he did, that this felt, at what point there was a headache.The more time being such a diary, the easier it is to understand, because of what the patient has a headache, and help him.
Suppose the client is interesting, but quite hard work, in which he tries to make "excellent".Experiences and stress during operation is already being felt, and if the job is not yet turned perform perfectly, then here it is - a severe headache.Well, in that case, if the boss has expressed dissatisfaction with the work performed, the client can only sympathize.
Thus, entry in the diary of the patient can understand what these emotions (experience in performing the work, frustration at the failure of the job unbearable shame for conviction superiors) cause him a headache.How does it help?First of all should work hard to eliminate the "range of honors."Striving for perfection - that's fine, but around the same should be the limit.After a perfect quest will no longer be the most important for the patient's condition improved significantly.Will only get rid of the excessive sense of duty to the client no longer suffer from shame, hearing reproaches chief.
actually perform all of the above is not so easy, and it will be easier to do this on the new workplace.
But, unfortunately, there are really running the situation in which cognitive therapy makes almost no results, and treatment promises to drag on for a long time.As a psychologist to do then?In psychiatry, there is similar to cognitive psychotherapy method more effective, but also more rigid.
This method - suggestive psychotherapy, which stands at the heart of hypnosis.During treatment, the doctor puts the patient into a hypnotic state, being where the customer can not take any action.Psychologist short sentences makes very clear suggestion.As a rule, a person is encouraging, it says that when he wakes up, will have to get rid of his illness / fear / aggression / uncertainty.
Suggestive psychotherapy is used in many psychological problems as well as physical illness.
