ABSTRACT
In Britain, in order to maintain professional registration/accreditation it is necessary to engage in a certain number of hours of continuing professional development (CPD) activities. You can either regard engaging in these activities as a chore or a challenge. We suggest that you regard it as the latter! If you do so, then we suggest that you attend CPD events both within the field of REBT and CBT and outside this field. It is perhaps obvious why you need to keep up to date with developments in REBT/CBT. In particular, CBT is a field that at present is bristling with developments and it is important that you keep abreast of them as a way of keeping professionally fresh and clinically effective. If you only mix professionally with people who share your ideas then you may well become blinkered in your views and develop a certain smugness and complacency that your views are correct.
