Cognitive therapies are often biased in their assessment of
clinical problems by their emphasis on the role of
verbally-mediated thought in shaping our emotions, and in stressing
the influence of thought upon feeling. Alternatively, a more
phenomenological appraisal of psychological dysfunction suggests
that emotion and thinking are complementary processes which
influence each other. Cognitive psychology developed out of
information-processing models, whereas phenomenological psychology
is rooted in a philosophical perspective which avoids the
assumptions of positivist methodology. But, despite their different
origins, the two disciplines overlap and complement each other.
This book, originally published in 1995, illustrates how feeling
states are a crucial component of mental health problems and, if
adequately differentiated, can result in a greater understanding of
mental health.
