Categorização e crenças disfuncionais

Abstract

In our process of understanding the world we categorize not only in the form of mental representations, reproduce internally the meanings of the internal world, but we are also active in the construction of meaning beyond the presented "out there". This pro-active process of constructing meaning is given recursively and may be found dysfunctional when the individual, in some way, systematized only a way of constructing meaning, which is manifested in the figure of psychopathology from various mental disorders . In this work, was done a literature review of the concepts of categorized according to cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics in order to discretize the processes involved in this activity, because this understanding may help guide the development of more realistic therapeutic techniques for cognitive psychotherapists to work in a more timely dysfunctional beliefs that are dysfunctional models of categorization.
