ABSTRACT
Effective REBT therapists not only teach rational principles effectively, but also ensure that their clients learn rational principles thoroughly. Good teachers tell us that there is often a poor correlation between what one teaches and what students learn. Thus, particularly when you are employing a didactic style of REBT, check out what your clients are learning from your didactic teachings. This does not mean, however, that when you are working more Socratically you can forego this point even though the Socratic dialogue involves you giving feedback to clients when they provide answers which demonstrate inadequate grasp of these rational principles.
