For Marx, work should be humanizing, but in capitalism it is the opposite. As a commodity it is alienating, exploitative, humiliating and monotonous.
The work that should be humanizing under capitalism is its opposite, because in the form of commodity it is: alienating - because the worker is unaware of the production process itself and the value it adds to the product, besides not identifying with the products of its job; explorer - due to the production objectives of the surplus value linked to the capital accumulation process; humiliating - because it negatively affects self-esteem; monotonous - by its organization and the content of the task.

CT is one of the calming methods within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies and was first explained by Beck in the 1960s.
