ABSTRACT
In the US TV series, at the end of his radio programme, Frasier wishes the people of Seattle ``good mental health''. However, he never outlines what this is. REBT, on the other hand, is very explicit about what constitutes good mental health, more explicit in this respect than other CBT therapies. REBT not only sees its aim as the remediation of psychological disturbance, it also strives to help clients to work towards being as psychologically healthy as possible. This is how REBT conceptualises good mental health:
Personal responsibility
People with good mental health (GMH) accept full responsibility for their emotional disturbances and will strive to overcome their own emotional and behavioural problems by utilising the methods and techniques of REBT and CBT. They acknowledge that situations and other people contribute to their disturbance, but they resist the temptation to blame their feelings on these situations/people.
