Spiritually Informed CBT v Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental health problem that is treated by many mental health practitioners. Cognitive-behavioral therapies have proven to be effective in helping restructure the cognitions of the client, which in turn reduces depressive symptom. Research has shown that individuals with MDD who value spirituality tend to view the world in a different way than those individuals that do not hold spirituality as an important value in their life. Spiritual individuals have religious schemas, and therefore, it would be important to incorporate spirituality into the treatment setting. This pilot study utilized a manualized treatment approach that focuses on spiritual growth and decreasing depression through a spiritually informed cognitive- behavioral approach (SICBT).

Spirituality is an integral and vital element in the lives of many individuals. There has been a recent explosion of studies and research in this area. Spirituality is regarded as one of the four components of overall well-being (Mohr, 2006). The four essential components of an individual, as noted by Mohr (2006), are the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. Spirituality may also play an important part in the identity of an individual. People often make decisions based upon their religion and may even adhere to certain rules of living founded upon their spiritual beliefs. Research has shown that spirituality is associated with values of wholeness, hope, meaning, harmony, and transcending (O’ Reilly, 2004). These values help individuals cope with stressors in the world and strive toward reaching their natural potential. An important factor is ignored when the clinician fails to incorporate spirituality into the treatment of a spiritual individual. The research and development of several approaches related to integration have evolved over time (Richards, Rector, & Tjeltveit, 1999). These methods are relatively new, receiving mixed reviews from individuals in the field of psychology. In general, some clinicians are skeptical about the integration of spirituality and therapy, as there is a general fear that this new branch of psychology may be seen as unscientific or invalid (Lindridge, 2008). Other therapists, however, embrace this new domain and continue to work towards a healthy integration of spirituality into their practice (Shafranske & Sperry, 1990). Spiritually Informed CBT 2 The cognitive-behavioral approach has expanded to include spirituality. Within this approach, the therapist utilizes the basic tenets of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in combination with spiritual values and beliefs to treat the client (Beitel, Genova, Schuman-Olivier, Arnold, Avants, & Margolin, 2007).

The first view sees the language of thought as an innate language known as mentalese, which is hypothesized to operate at a level below conscious awareness while at the same time operating at a higher level than the neural events in the brain. The second view supposes that the language of thought is not innate. Rather, the language of thought is natural language. So, as an English speaker, my language of thought would be English. My goal is to defend the second view.

Received: 21 March 2013; in revised form: 7 April 2013 / Accepted: 18 April 2013 / Published: 26 April 2013 Abstract: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are a common phenomenon, occurring in the “healthy” population as well as in several mental illnesses, most notably schizophrenia. Current thinking supports a spectrum conceptualisation of AVH: several neurocognitive hypotheses of AVH have been proposed, including the “feed-forward” model of failure to provide appropriate information to somatosensory cortices so that stimuli appear unbidden, and an “aberrant memory model” implicating deficient memory processes. Neuroimaging and connectivity studies are in broad agreement with these with a general dysconnectivity between frontotemporal regions involved in language, memory and salience properties. Disappointingly many AVH remain resistant to standard treatments and persist for many years. There is a need to develop novel therapies to augment existing pharmacological and psychological therapies: transcranial magnetic stimulation has emerged as a potential treatment, though more recent clinical data has been less encouraging.

Knights published a caustic essay against the notion cultivated by certain of his colleagues, predominantly A.C. Bradley, that Shakespeare is a ‘great creator of characters’. Knights regarded the examination of isolated particles such as ‘character’ as disorientating, alleging that an analysis of this sort obscures the greater merit of language. Knight’s polemic essentially stands in the threshold of the dissention between formalists and realists: the former consider the examination of the fictional narrative as anything but a textual construct a scholarly faux pas; the latter regard the referential relationship between text and the world as a foundation for the creation of fiction.

  • EXAMINING the STREAM of CONSCIOUSNESS/INTERIOR MONOLOGUE AS a METHOD of NARRATION for DEVELOPING STUDENTS' THOUGHT and INSIGHT Dr
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.9, No.5, pp.42-54, 2021 Print ISSN: 2055-0138(Print), Online ISSN: 2055-0146(Online EXAMINING THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS/INTERIOR MONOLOGUE AS A METHOD OF NARRATION FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS' THOUGHT AND INSIGHT Dr. Mahdi Adam Othman Omer Assistant Professor, English Language Department, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of stream of consciousness as a method/technique for developing students' thought using descriptive analytical and narration method. To verify this claim, the researcher conducted English literature course of 6 weeks (24 hours) for online learners who study English literature at Sudan Open University during the first semester of the year 2021. The researcher conducted qualitative and quantitative study to investigate learners' flow of thoughts focusing on their perceptions of creating a new idea that is much broader than a range of events of a story. The participants of the study were (50) students at Sudan open university. The researcher used the questionnaire as a data gathering tool to investigate learners' views toward the program, and used pre and posttests to investigate learners' levels and the progress that happen in their levels after finishing the course of literature. Besides, many open ended questions of literature were used in order to give learners the chance to express their views about problems solving. The result of the pre and posttests was significantly different in favor of the post test. The levels of students were developed dramatically. The study recommends, the need of developing insight technique for learning English literature, not only by using narration, but also by creative thinking.

  • 8 the Genius of Internal Monologue
    8 The Genius of Internal Monologue "Internal monologue" and stream-of-consciousness techniques purport to represent, or even to transcribe, fictional characters' in­ ternal speech.1 But how is it possible for written words to stand for unspoken language? The conventions of internal monologue appear most justified by the notion of thought as "speech minus sound." If talking to oneself is no different from talking aloud, then the in­ wardness of a subject might as well be represented in the familiar language of dialogue. While some authors do employ internal mon­ ologue as if to transcribe internal speech, the more radical twentieth­ century novels break literary conventions by representing internal speech in ways that deviate from ordinary language. Opposing the psychologists who maintain that subjectivity can be transcribed, writ­ ers of stream-of-consciousness technique strive to create the illusion of an inwardness that eludes transcription. According to a deceptively simple commonplace of literary history, modern literature strives to represent the "inner life" of subjects. This inwardness is, however, never as autonomous as it superficially ap­ pears to be. The innovative works by Edouard Dujardin, Arthur Schnitzler, and James Joyce demonstrate that the language of selfhood depends on otherness for its existence, because monologue always 1Throughout this chapter the reader should place the (perhaps unavoidable) mis­ nomer "internal monologue" in imaginary quotation marks. LITERATUR E OF MONOLO GUE incorporates elements of dialogue. The context of vocalized speech is a sub-text of internal dialogue, and the context of writing is formed by the pre-texts of literary history. Late nineteenth-century psychology suggests a distinction between "internal speech" and "stream of consciousness." While internal speech is the essentially linguistic process of thought, "stream of consciousness" refers to an extralinguistic level.

  • Thinking, Inner Speech, and Self-Awareness
    1 Thinking, inner speech, and self-awareness JOHANNES ROESSLER (forthcoming in a special issue of Review of Philosophy and Psychology) Abstract This paper has two themes. One is the question of how to understand the relation between inner speech and knowledge of one’s own thoughts. My aim here is to probe and challenge the popular neo-Rylean suggestion that we know our own thoughts by ‘overhearing our own silent monologues’, and to sketch an alternative suggestion, inspired by Ryle’s lesser-known discussion of thinking as a ‘serial operation’. The second theme is the question whether, as Ryle apparently thought, we need two different accounts of the epistemology of thinking, corresponding to the distinction between thoughts with respect to which we are active vs passive. I suggest we should be skeptical about the assumption that there is a single distinction here. There are a number of interesting ways in which thinking can involve passivity, but they provide no support for a ‘bifurcationist’ approach to the epistemology of thinking. A number of authors have recently advocated what might be called a neo-Rylean account of the way we know our own thoughts.1 The suggestion they elaborate and defend is that we know what we think by ‘overhearing’, or ‘eavesdropping on’, ‘our own (..) silent monologues.’ (Ryle 1949: 176). Yet Ryle left us not one but two accounts of the way we know our thoughts. The passages that have provided the inspiration for neo-Rylean work are to be found in section 5 of chapter VI of The Concept of Mind, entitled ‘Disclosure by Unstudied Talk’.

Oktyabrskoj revoljucii, 3-a, Ufa, RB, the Russian Federation,[email protected] Abstract Psychologism is a principle of arrangement of elements of artistic expression that creates a psychological style. Therefore, the study of the internal structure of psychologism and its poetics is one of the urgent tasks of modern literary science. Psychologism is an indicator of the level of maturity of literature, high artistic thinking, development of writing skills and professionalism. In modern prose, a direct form of psychological analysis, which is characterized by a consistent detailed reproduction of complex thought processes, conflicts occurring in the inner world, in the mental life of a character by means of one of the most important, effective means – an internal monologue, is increasingly used since the 1970s-1980s. Modern prose is characterized by a consistent detailed reproduction of complex thought processes, conflicts occurring in the inner world, in the mental life of a character by means of one of the most important, effective means – internal monologues.

  • Embodied Narratives
    Richard Menary Embodied Narratives Introduction Is the self narratively constructed? There are many who would answer yes to the question. Dennett (1991) is, perhaps, the most famous pro- ponent of the view that the self is narratively constructed, but there are others, such as Velleman (2006), who have followed his lead and developed the view much further. Indeed, the importance of narrative to understanding the mind and the self is currently being lavished with attention across the cognitive sciences (Dautenhahn, 2001; Hutto, 2007; Nelson, 2003). Emerging from this work, there appear to be a variety of ways in which we can think of the narrative construction of the self and the relationship between the narrative self and the embod- ied agent. I wish to examine two such ways in this paper. The first I shall call the abstract narrative account, this is because its proponents take the narrative self to be an abstraction (Dennett, 1991; Velleman, 2006). Dennett, for example, refers to the self as a centre of narrative gravity (henceforth CNG), to be thought of as analogous to a mathematical conception of the centre of gravity of an object. The second I shall call the embodied narrative account and this is the view that the self is con- stituted both by an embodied consciousness whose experiences are available for narration and narratives themselves, which can play a variety of roles in the agent’s psychological life. Kerby (1993, p. 42) describes our embodied experiences as having a pre-narrative quality that constitutes ‘a demand for narrative’. Hutto speaks similarly of emotional experiences as being ‘ripe for narrative’ (2006, p.
