ABSTRACT
Both you and your clients have your respective tasks to perform in REBT and the goals of therapy in part dictate the selection of tasks your clients need to carry out in order to experience change. If you have a good bond with your clients, this may make it more likely that they will engage in these tasks. As well as keeping therapy goal directed and developing and maintaining a good working relationship with your clients, there are other points that you need to consider when encouraging them to do their share of the work in therapy:
