| description | Introduction: Cognitive therapy is a method of psychotherapy used to treat many psychological and psychiatric disorders
and is based on cognitive model of emotional disorders. Throughout the therapy, it is important for the clients to be
trained in their problems and to perceive the fact which is one of the fundamental actions of cognitive behavioral therapy,
that the emotional state interacts not only with in the thoughts, but also physical functions and environment. . Besides
employing cognitive behavioral methods and techniques to overcome clients’ problems, cognitive therapy is also an
educational process that eventually aims to teach the patient to be his own therapist. If the methods and techniques of the
therapy used during the process are clear and easy for the patients to understand, the therapeutic benefits will increase.
For this reason, effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy depends on to a great extent both how much the client
understands the therapist and how proper language and metaphors are used by the therapist while having therapeutic
relations. In this sense, the metaphor is a method which makes it easy for the clients to perceive some abstract and the
concepts which seem to the client complex. In this study, the situations in which metaphor is used for therapy have been
dealt under nine headings.
Objective: We have dealt with the concepts, in a metaphorical context, such as explanation of irrational and rational
beliefs, which will be studied in the later stages of the therapy, explaining cognitive model and the characteristics of the
therapy.
Conclusion: This review can be considered as a start and a guide to researchers who want to do comprehensive studies
about this subject. |
