title: [State of the scientific model? Humankind as portrayed by cognitive behaviour therapy].
abstract: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) interprets the workings of the human mind by analogy with the scientific method as defined by Popper. According to this interpretation, CBT turns the scientist and/or science into a model for mental health, but fails to recognize the symbolic nature of human existence.
