About the Book

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Theoretical Developments is a cutting edge examination of the theory behind this popular approach within the cognitive-behavioural tradition. Distinguished practitioners and authors discuss the relevance of:
· cross-disciplinary factors affecting REBT
· REBT as an intentional therapy
· differentiating preferential from exaggerated and musturbatory beliefs in REBT
· irrational beliefs as schemata.
Thought-provoking presentation of case studies and the latest theory revision give Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: Theoretical Developments a distinctive slant: a challenging discussion of the approach's openness to revision from within and outside the ranks of REBT, and its implications for the future.

Reviews

This volume is for all Relational Emotive Behaviour Therapists and Cognitive Behaviour Therapists who desire to look more closely at their theories and practice, so as to develop new strategies in practice and research. I would recommend this book be on every REBTer's and CBTer's bookshelf. - John Blackburn, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2005
