9781861563019: Learning from Errors in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Synopsis

Michael Neenan and Windy Dryden are experienced teachers ofRational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). Over the years, theyhave noticed a large number of common errors which studentsregularly make: in fact, they can reliably predict what most ofthese errors will be. Initially, Neenan and Dryden aimed for 50 or60 errors, thinking that this would be the limit, but in fact theyreached 101. They assembled the errors in to seven categories:general, assessment, goal-setting, disputing, homework, workingthrough, and self-maintenance. In dealing with each error, theyexplain what has gone wrong and how to put it right.

The excerpts of dialogue are not verbatim accounts of therapy orsupervision but illustrative examples of the points the authors aremaking. Students reading this book should be able to pinpoint theseerrors at an earlier stage in their training thereby enabling themto make faster progress towards becoming competent REBTtherapists.
