Deterministic thinking is one of the major cognitive distortions. This type of thinking ignores any possibility in making a conclusion about events. Any consequence of an event may be thought as: 2×2= 4. Equality is a dominant factor among all conclusions of this kind of distortion. Distortion emerges in cognitive rigidity in the mind and could be the source of all distortions. Cognitive rigidity is a main reason for depression and other psychosocial maladjustments.
Challenging distortion was discussed as a new method for improving psychological conditions of cancer patients. Adapting the cultural base of the method, distortion is explained as a destructive factor which ruins the balance of fear and hope, the two important signs of faith in Islamic perspective.
The consequence of challenging distortion to reduce depression and anxiety has been explained based on the Islamic Culture.
For the first time, in this study, it was proposed that how this method can be used in the treatment of psychological disorders of cancer patients.
确定性思维是主要的认知扭曲形式之一。这种思维方式在对事件得出结论时忽略任何可能性。事件的任何结果可能被认为是:2×2 = 4。在这种扭曲的所有结论中,等式是主导因素。扭曲出现在思维的认知僵化中,可能是所有扭曲的根源。认知僵化是抑郁和其他心理社会适应不良的主要原因。
将挑战扭曲作为改善癌症患者心理状况的一种新方法进行了讨论。根据该方法的文化基础,将扭曲解释为一种破坏因素,它破坏了恐惧和希望的平衡,而恐惧和希望是伊斯兰教视角下信仰的两个重要标志。
基于伊斯兰文化解释了挑战扭曲以减轻抑郁和焦虑的结果。
在本研究中首次提出了如何将该方法用于治疗癌症患者的心理障碍。
