Abstract

In a postrationalist approach to cognitive psychotherapy the therapeutic relationship becomes a tool for exploring, by which, the patient manages to understand the rules which govern the rigid logical processes of his own personal meaning organization. A more accurate knowledge of one's own attitudes is the crucial variable that lets the patient assimilate problematic experiences. The therapist role assume the form of a "strategical oriented emotive disturber" who is extremely careful to utilize the emotional swings that he live in reciprocity with the patient, and who is aware of is own, as it is his emotions which modulate the patient's perceptions and understanding of problems.
