Ethics

Cognitive therapies are directly concerned with changing the client's beliefs.

All therapies, overtly or covertly, induce the client into a particular way of viewing the human condition.

Ethical behaviour is seen as supporting mental well-being and, therefore, sees the adoption of ethical behaviours as healthy.

Well being or holistic health is then seen not merely as tinkering with ones interiority but its expression through an active and participative lifestyle bound by ethical behaviour motivated through contentment for oneself, and compassion for the other. (SGGSJ 3, 110).
