ABSTRACT
Whenever the therapist is helping the client to examine their rigid/extreme attitudes, they need to distinguish between questions designed to encourage the client to examine these attitudes and questions designed to help the therapist assess more carefully the inferential part. To complicate matters further, some Rational Emotive Behaviour therapists use what appear to be attitude examination questions but are really questions designed to help them do inference chaining. To avoid confusing inference chaining questions with attitude examination questions is particularly difficult for novice Rational Emotive Behaviour therapists. They think that they are helping clients to examine their rigid/extreme attitudes but really they are assessing their client’s chain of inferences. A solution for this confusion is for novice Rational Emotive Behaviour therapists to discriminate keenly between the form of the question and its intent.
