How to Help Clients Get the Most Out of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy : A Practitioner?s Guide

This book aims to assist therapists in helping their clients decide if Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is for them and, if so, how to get the most out of the model.

It does not seek to equip therapists with the particular REBT skills presented in training courses and skills-oriented books but rather strives to help therapists and their clients to be aware of and deal productively with more general issues that pertain to the effective practice of REBT. Topics covered include:

• Helping clients decide if REBT is for them.
• Helping clients prepare for their REBT sessions.
• Helping clients understand the process of change in REBT.
• Helping clients apply what they learn from REBT sessions.
• Helping clients become their own REBT therapist.

This book is designed for all REBT therapists, whether experienced or in training.
