The need for, and the possibilities of, inspiring hope in the socially maladjusted in light of cognitive theory
Journal Title: Resocjalizacja Polska - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 7
Abstract
This article draws attention to the necessity of developing hope in socially maladjusted individuals as a cognitive structure of personality. Hope is defined as an individual’s system of beliefs that in the future they will achieve a desired target with a certain degree of probability. Hope, as opposed to fear, is important in formulating the motivation required to undertake various forms of activity and decides on a person’s openness to change. On the basis of cognition theory, the author points to the theoretical determinants of hope with particular reference to rehabilitation work aimed at rebuilding the style in which successes and failures are explained, increasing the sense of self-efficacy and restructuring cognitive distortions.
