“…The therapist can help clients improve their ability to learn from experience. Some clients need to distance themselves from their view of events and become willing to examine the accuracy of their beliefs without being blocked by pride, fear, or hope (Schmid, 1983). For example, habits and emotions may tempt clients to accept their beliefs without evaluating them critically (Larrabee, 1945).…”

The Socratic method can be used in combination with most forms of psychotherapy. Previous reports have described the Socratic method as comprised of three basic elements: systematic questioning, inductive reasoning, and universal definitions. The present article describes a disavowal of knowledge as a general attitude that underlies the effective use of the Socratic method. Disavowal of knowledge refers to a tendency to view most information as comprised of tentative beliefs and personal opinions rather than objective facts. Disavowal of knowledge by the client reduces inadequately justified beliefs, stimulates a search for new information, and facilitates critical thinking by the client. Likewise, disavowal of knowledge by the therapist promotes intellectual modesty in sessions, ensures a genuine desire for learning by the therapist, and encourages collaborative empiricism throughout therapy. Each aspect is discussed as related to the use of the Socratic method in psychotherapy.

“…Se disséssemos que Sócrates afirma algo, tanto no Protágoras como no Carmides, negaríamos a evidente aporia da filosofia socrática dos primeiros diálogos de Platão e a tão cara declaração de não-saber de Sócrates, ou seja, negaríamos a Sócrates sua sinceridade e inteligência. Ao falarmos em paradoxo331 Schmid (1983), n. 13, p. 342: "... and yet to also know that you do not possess final or infallible moral knowledgeto be aware, in the manner of the philosophically humble man[...], of the inherently discursive and consensual nature of moral knowledge. "332 Schmid (1983), p. 341.333 Cornford (2005), p. 47. socrático, devemos entender isto: para Sócrates o saber moral, a ciência moral, o conhecimento moral e também político, como o concebem pessoas como Critias, deveria ser útil, bom e infalível, mas, aparentemente, não é, como a discussão no Carmides, mas também no Protágoras, parece mostrar.…”

É espantoso, a considerar-se este saber como um saber infalível, que ele não se mostre como tal, e é por isso que esta questão é tão relevante.…”

“…The opposite of such behaviorbehavior that is extreme, impulsive, and violentis prohibited, if the traditional virtue is practiced. "Schmid (1983), n. 4, p. 340: "The harmony that characterizes the tradicional sophrosyne is basically not an internal harmony or correspondence between what one believes and what one desires, or an internal-external harmony between what one says and what one does, but purely external correspondence between what one actually does and is and what is expected of one in light of his objective station. "North (1966), p. 156: "Charmides' first suggestion is entirely external, as well as traditional in the aristocratic code of behavior: sophrosyne is a kind of quietness in walking, talking, and such activities (159B).…”

This is the question that Socrates proposes to his interlocutors, Critias and Charmides, examine together in the dialogue of youth of Plato, the Charmides, tentative dialogue or examination ( ).   is make all things orderly and quietly (       )? It's a feeling like modesty or reserve ( )? You take care of your own things (     )?   would do good things (    )?

Or would it be finally the knowledge of good and evil (      )? Like in others properly called Socratic dialogues of Plato (in the Laches is the courage, in the Euthyphro is the piety) in which examines whether a particular virtue is knowledge, in the Charmides it is examining whether   is knowledge. If it is, is knowledge of what? And what is, for us, the benefit of this virtue, conceived as knowledge? These are some of the issues examined by Socrates in this dialogue. This work intends to follow step by step this is that the first Socratic investigation (  ) about   in the dialogues of Plato. Or, put another way, this work intends to follow step by step the Socratic philosophy in dialogue Charmides.
