Notes
There are many studies that reveal a positive relationship between religious beliefs, spirituality and mental health. Religious devotion and spirituality provide hope and self-confidence while coping with stress, reducing depression and anxiety. For this reason, mental health professionals consider it important to include the client's religious beliefs in the therapy process. According to CBT, which is one of the types of therapy that deals with incorporating religious belief into their processes, people perceive the events they experience negatively due to their negative beliefs about themselves and their environment. During the therapy process, he/she uses alternative positive thoughts to replace negative thoughts. Many religious approaches and Islamic beliefs can be used to change dysfunctional, maladaptive thinking; It has alternative sources such as hope, moderation, self-confidence, patience, kindness, repentance, justice, tolerance, wisdom, gratitude, gentleness, respect, tact and contentment. These values are used in the process of restructuring dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs in CBT. The purpose of this article is to investigate and provide examples of how the Islamic faith can be integrated into CBT. Researchers have concluded that religious beliefs and spirituality develop the ability to deal with negative feelings and behaviors. Religious beliefs give hope and self-esteem while reducing anger, guilt, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, mental healthcare professionals deal with combining religious and spiritual beliefs into various therapy processes. One of them; In cognitive behavioral therapy, it is accepted that people perceive the events as negative because of their negative beliefs about themselves and their environment. Thinking badly about your own like that “I am not a good person”, “I am a worthless person”, “I don't pass this exam because I am too worthless” and thinking badly about their environment like that “people can hurt me”, “people always lie to me”, “nobody can love me”, these harmful and dysfunctional thoughts may have begun to develop in childhood. Negative life experiences might also lead to the development of negative personal perceptions. Negative core beliefs fed by negative events for many years may become permanent in the mind of the person. It is used alternative positive thinking instead of these negative thoughts in the therapy process. Religions are believed useful as an alternative thinking source. Many religious approaches and Islamic beliefs have alternative sources to change dysfunctional and maladaptive thoughts by some: such as prayer, hope, moderation, self-esteem, patience, repentance, justice, tolerance, wisdom, gratitude, kindness, respect, courtesy and contentment. These values are thought useful for cognitive behavioral therapy process to restructure dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. With this study, we aim to examine and give some samples how Islamic belief integrates into cognitive behavioral therapy.
