ABSTRACT

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Theoretical Developments is a cutting edge examination of the theory behind this popular approach within the cognitive-behavioural tradition. Distinguished practitioners and authors discuss the relevance of:
· cross-disciplinary factors affecting REBT
· REBT as an intentional therapy
· differentiating preferential from exaggerated and musturbatory beliefs in REBT
· irrational beliefs as schemata.
Thought-provoking presentation of case studies and the latest theory revision give Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Theoretical Developments a distinctive slant: a challenging discussion of the approach's openness to revision from within and outside the ranks of REBT, and its implications for the future.
