Cognitive Therapy is based on the premise that what we think affects our emotions, what we choose to do or avoid, and our physiological reactions. (See Diagram A.) In fact, most situations remain neutral until we assign meaning based on how we interpret the situation. DIAGRAM A.
DRACO: Latin form of Greek Drakon, meaning dragon.. Draco was the name of a 7th century scribe of Athens, Greece. It is also the name of a constellation. In Greek mythology, there are many dragons mentioned.
Dragon. A dragon may evoke fiery breath and taloned wings, but the origin of the word dragon conjures up a different feature: eyes. Dragon ultimately comes from the ancient Greek Î´ÏÎ¬ÎºÏÎ½ (drakon), naming a âdragonâ and, more generally, a â serpent â. This word, in turn, derives from a verb, Î´Î­ÏÎºÎµÏÎ¸Î±Î¹, âto see clearlyâ. As etymologist Walter Skeat glosses it, Î´ÏÎ¬ÎºÏÎ½ literally means âsharp-sightedâ.
