ABSTRACT

Ellis and Dryden (1997) argued that REBT can usefully be viewed as a psycho-educational approach to therapy. In this respect, REBT has a decided view of the nature of psychological disturbance and how this can be addressed and many of its practitioners largely hold the view that both can be actively taught to clients. Such teaching occurs in all the major therapeutic arenas (individual, couple, family, group) as well as contexts that may be less associated with therapy: workshops for the public and 9 hour intensives (Ellis & Dryden, 1997).
