ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author goes into detail for one of the core elements of REBT; the GABCDE framework. The key features of the GABCDE framework are covered, alongside its Stoic roots, but also, the framework is mapped against prominent emotion and emotion regulation theory. This includes Lazarus’ cognitive appraisal theory, Gross’ process model, and Andersen’s canon of psychological skills. Applied examples are used to supplement theoretical details.
