ABSTRACT
It is perhaps quite understandable that some novice REBT therapists try to model themselves after Albert Ellis before developing their own more authentic therapeutic style. There are many effective REBT styles and it is worthwhile to study carefully the tapes in the Albert Ellis Institute professional videotape library (on sale from Albert Ellis Institute, 45 East 65th Street, New York, NY 10021, USA). The stated goal of these tapes is to acquaint people with the different styles of various experienced REBT therapists so that they can develop their own personal style of conducting REBT. In this respect, we also recommend a book edited by one of us (WD) in which leading REBT therapists outline their idiosyncratic practice of REBT (Dryden 2002a).
