초록

Chronic grief is a universal human experience. It affects both the rich and poor of every generation and nation. Depressive disorder has been involved in a cluster of signs and symptoms: loss of interest or joy, feeling of guilt or low self-esteem, troubled sleep or appetite, sudden change of weight, inability of concentration, suicidal thoughts and fatigue or low energy. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is traditionally regarded as one of the most effective therapeutic tools for treating the depressive disorder, because CBT’s understanding of depression is focused on the relationship between emotion and cognition. Religious frameworks including Christian faith can be effective in modifying negative schemas, maladaptive thoughts, cognitive errors and behaviors that are associated with unpleasant feelings. Also, faithful beliefs and activities such as prayers are significant therapeutic resources for those who highly value faith as part of their lives. However, religious activities can be controversial in terms of unconstructive strategies. Prayer can be a negative and unproductive coping strategy if it results in passivity or avoidance from reality. Integration of a religious a framework into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is empirically proved to be beneficial and effective in the depressive and anxiety disorders through outcome research. For more successful integration CBT with religion, collaborative work between the client and the clinician is necessary. In addition, a therapist’s careful attention to a client’s religious background not only facilitates building rapport, but also protects the therapist from becoming involved in ethical issues.

Abstract

Chronic grief is a universal human experience. It affects both the rich and poor of every generation and nation. Depressive disorder has been involved in a cluster of signs and symptoms: loss of interest or joy, feeling of guilt or low self-esteem, troubled sleep or appetite, sudden change of weight, inability of concentration, suicidal thoughts and fatigue or low energy. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is traditionally regarded as one of the most effective therapeutic tools for treating the depressive disorder, because CBT’s understanding of depression is focused on the relationship between emotion and cognition. Religious frameworks including Christian faith can be effective in modifying negative schemas, maladaptive thoughts, cognitive errors and behaviors that are associated with unpleasant feelings. Also, faithful beliefs and activities such as prayers are significant therapeutic resources for those who highly value faith as part of their lives. However, religious activities can be controversial in terms of unconstructive strategies. Prayer can be a negative and unproductive coping strategy if it results in passivity or avoidance from reality. Integration of a religious a framework into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is empirically proved to be beneficial and effective in the depressive and anxiety disorders through outcome research. For more successful integration CBT with religion, collaborative work between the client and the clinician is necessary. In addition, a therapist’s careful attention to a client’s religious background not only facilitates building rapport, but also protects the therapist from becoming involved in ethical issues.
