Using Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)

Using REBT provides a concise guide to using this method to address your emotional problems. Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) encourages direct focus on emotional problems, encouraging understanding of the attitudes and behaviours that are responsible for maintaining these problems. REBT encourages a healthier outlook by teaching individuals to examine their rigid and extreme attitudes. This heavily revised edition of the original 2006 publication ‘Getting Started with REBT’ is divided into two sections, beginning with an introduction to the theory and practice of REBT that will enable the reader to make an informed decision about whether this method is right for them. The second section guides the reader through issues that are relevant to all emotional problems, demonstrating how to: • Formulate emotional problems and set goals • Examine rigid/extreme and flexible/non-extreme attitudes • Strengthen conviction in flexible/non-extreme attitudes. This book is suitable for use either alone or in conjunction with work with an REBT therapist. It will also be of interest to therapists and counsellors.
