Book Description: Albert Ellis founded and has spent a lifetime practising and teaching rational emotive behaviour therapy. REBT (previously RET) is important not only in its own terms as an effective therapeutic approach to emotional disturbance, but also as the precursor of the cognitive behavioural therapy movement which now exerts such an influence on the mental health field.Joseph Yankura and Windy Dryden, leading proponents of the rational emotive behavioural approach in the United States and Britain respectively, present a lucid overview of the life and major contributions of Albert Ellis. Using numerous excerpts from Ellis's own writings to enliven and clarify the discussion, they look in particular at the famous ABC analysis which enables people to understand and deal with their own problems, the key concepts of ego disturbance and discomfort disturbance, and Ellis's views on therapeutic efficiency. Despite his voluminous writings, Ellis has often been misunderstood and misrepresented. He has attracted considerable criticism which he has diligently rebutted. This concise but comprehensive explanation of his theories and practice will help to confirm his place in the development of psychotherapy and to assess the significance of those debates. A highly accessible book, it will prove invaluable for all counsellors and psychotherapists.
