ABSTRACT
You are now in a position to take what is, in my opinion, one of the most important steps of all in addressing your specific problem, i.e. taking action. The name of the approach to therapy that this book is based on is, as you know, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. The word ‘rational’ points to the fact that thinking is very important in your problems and that thinking rationally is a crucial component in psychological health. The word ‘emotive’ points to the fact that you are an emotional being and that disturbed feelings have most likely led you to seek help. Finally, the word ‘behaviour’ points to the fact that change very often doesn’t take root unless you act in healthy ways.
