Cognitive therapy, cartesianism and the moral order

Abstract
In recent years cognitive therapy has become increasingly popular as a treatment for many forms of mental illness. This therapy is presented as scientific, rational and relatively easy to learn and use. In this paper we seek to demonstrate the particular philosophy of mind at work within the cognitivist framework and the ethical assumptions which accompany it. We conclude by drawing attention to some of the clinical implications of this analysis.
