REBT is a form of psychotherapy that places personal beliefs front and center, inviting the patient to evaluate how their beliefs affects their thoughts and feelings. Essential Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy provides a clear introduction to the concepts and theories of REBT, with technical jargon stripped away to leave an open, engaging exploration of the field. Beginning with the central ABCDE model of emotional disturbance and change, the book delves into assessment, homework, disputing, common obstacles, and working through to give patients and therapists a true picture of how helpful REBT can be.
