One of the major goals of cognitive therapy is to generate cognitive restructuring for clients. While generating cognitive restructuring plenty of cognitive interventions can be useful. One of those interventions is building a Pie Chart (PC) prepared collaboratively with clients. In literature large amount of example related to target areas of PC has been stated. Investigating reasons of an event or a situation, appraising ones responsibility, testing catastrophic evaluations regarding a life event, challenging labeling thoughts and setting goals are some of the major target areas of PC. When using PC it is aimed at expanding perspectives of clients and helping them achieve an objective point of view towards life events and situations. The goal of the current paper is to explain the target areas for PC as a tool for cognitive restructuring.

Introduction: Premature ejaculation is the most common male sexual dysfunction leading to distress in many couples. Master and Johnson emphasized the concept of early learned experiences and Kaplan emphasized lack of sensory awareness. For treatment sex therapists mainly utilize start-stop and squeeze techniques as homework. Couples enter sex therapy with some cognitive distortions and beliefs about sex and sexuality. These beliefs are also named sexual myths. For some couples using techniques to challenge cognitive distortions and maladaptive beliefs about sex and sexuality can be used. In this paper by presenting a case we discussed how cognitive techniques can be used along with behaviour techniques with couples. Case: Presenting clients are five years married couple who are thirty and twenty nine years old respectively. They attended to the outpatient clinic with the request of the female client. Their main complaint was premature ejaculation. They were diagnosed premature ejaculation using clinical interview. In treatment besides start and stop technique, cognitive techniques were utilized to address dysfunctional beliefs about sexuality. Discussion: Premature ejaculation is a male sexual dysfunction that causes distress and intimacy problems between couples. Stop start and squeeze techniques were accepted as the choice of treatment but their effectiveness is questioned recently. Also cognitive distortions and maladaptive beliefs may hamper therapy progress. Besides that, behavioral techniques utilizing cognitive techniques to lessen the degree of dysfunctional beliefs about sex and sexuality may help the couple to overcome premature ejaculation and enhance sexual satisfaction and intimacy.

48-59 aylar arasındaki ileri derecede işitme özürlü çocukların ince devinsel gelişim alanı ile ilgili becerileri Denver Gelişimsel Tarama Testi ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler yüzde değerler kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Hacettepe Üniversitesi Kulak, Burun, Boğaz Bölümü Eğitim Odyolojisi Ünitesine baş vuran 48-59 aylar arasındaki ilere derecede işitme özürlü otuz çocuk oluşturur. Veri toplama sırasında Denver Gelişimsel Tarama Testinin standart test araçlarından sekiz tane 2,5 cm^'lük renkli (kırmızı, mavi, sarı, yeşil) tahta küp, kurşun kalem, test formu, bir adet boş sayfa kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar genel olarak değerlentirildiğinde 48-59 aylar arasındaki iler derecede işitme özürü olan çocukların ince devinsel gelişim alanı ile ilgili becerilerinin normal işiten yaşıtlarına yakın olduğu söylenebilir. Bazı maddelerde gecikme göstermeleri o alanda yeterine eğitim almadıklarını düşündürmektedir.
