Η επίδραση της αρχαιοελληνικής φιλοσοφίας στη γνωσιακή - συμπεριφοριστική θεραπεία
Translated title:
The influence of ancient Greek philosophy on cognitive - behavioral therapy
Summary:
According to ancient Greek philosophers, the basic means of dealing with passions and obtaining spiritual serenity is logos. In the modern age, the role of rational and realistic thoughts in shaping positive emotions and behaviors is highlighted by a widespread form of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The roots of CBT are traced back to ancient Greek philosophy and mainly to the works of the Stoics. The purpose of this work is to highlight the timeless value of ancient Greek philosophy in improving mental health, by presenting the obvious similarity of its principles and practices with theories and methods of modern psychotherapy.
