Numerous interpretations have been proposed to Kafka's writings, due to their hermetic nature. Psychological interpretations have been the object of numerous psychoanalytical studies, but not of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) studies; nor have there been attempts to propose a solution to Kafka's inner conflicts supposedly pictured by his characters. In this paper, I assume that Kafka intended to propose a universal principle of self-accusation by human beings. I also assume that self-accusations occur as schemas and core beliefs about the self described by cognitive therapists, and that being aware of such cognitions might permit the patient to organize his or her own defense. Thus, it is possible to set an enquiry to identify the self-accusations and mobilize the characters in the inner tribunal to help the patient judge himself with a more realistic and informed basis. Empirical data supporting this hypothesis as well as the approach I proposed to deal with it are presented in this paper.
由于卡夫卡作品的封闭性，人们对其提出了诸多阐释。心理阐释成为了众多精神分析研究的对象，但认知行为疗法（CBT）的研究却没有涉及；也没有人试图通过卡夫卡作品中所描绘的人物，来解决卡夫卡内心的冲突。在本文中，我假设卡夫卡的本意是想提出一个人类自我指责的普遍原则。我还假设自我指责是认知治疗师所描述的关于自我的图式和核心信念，而意识到这些认知可能会允许患者组织自己的防御。因此，我们可以进行一项调查，以确定自我指责，并调动内心法庭中的角色来帮助患者以更现实和知情的基础来评判自己。本文介绍了支持这一假设的实证数据，以及我提出的处理方法。
