ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on creativity in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) by advocating the use of referrals. The examples of situations in which one might refer a client: When one's client needs specialist help from another REBT therapist who has expertise in that particular area: although REBT is a general approach to psychotherapy, different REBT therapists have different areas of expertise. Thus, one might try to help a client who is depressed because she has just lost her young son through sudden infant death syndrome or one may usefully refer her to another REBT therapist who specializes in this area. This REBT therapist may have a fuller understanding of client reactions to this syndrome and may appreciate better the nuances of the therapeutic techniques that need to be used with such clients.
