ABSTRACT
For clients to really benefit from REBT, it is highly desirable that they achieve the following three insights (Ellis & Dryden, 1997): (a) Their psychological problems mainly stem from irrational absolutistic beliefs that they rigidly hold about themselves, others, and the world; (b) although these beliefs may have been created in various ways at various times in their lives, they perpetuate and worsen their disturbance by currently reindoctrinating themselves with them; and (c) only by constantly working and practicing in the present and future to think, feel, and act against these irrational beliefs are they likely to make themselves significantly less disturbed.
