ABSTRACT
Figures 1, 2 and 3 show three forms in common usage in REBT. The Problems and Goals rating scales form (Figure 1) was devised by me (WD). It helps clients to specify succinctly what their problems are, and what their goals are with respect to each problem. While helping clients to formulate their goals, encourage them to focus on those that are achievable, realistic and measurable. The section of the form which encourages clients to rate the intensity of their problems and to rate the progress they are making towards realizing their goals should be completed periodically (e.g. monthly) to enable them to monitor their rates of therapeutic improvement.
