REBT uses therapeutic, along with cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy, and Roger Theory. Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) has become one of the most widely practiced forms of cognitive–behavioral psychotherapy (Ellis & Dryden, 1997). “This is what the rational therapist teaches his [sic] clients to do: to understand exactly how they create their own emotional reactions by telling themselves certain things, and how they can create different emotional reactions by telling themselves other things” (Ellis, 1957, p. 38). Cognitive – Behavior Theory (CBT), unifying theme is the premise that most cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses are learned. Therefore, undesirable responses can be unlearned and replaced with more desirable ones. Clients acquire skills that facilitate this process—skills they can keep using to prevent or relieve depression long after formal therapy ends. According to Rogers (1951) genuineness requires the therapist to actively listen, enter and understand the client's world (accurate empathy) and reflect accurately to the client their feelings. When people are listened to, they move toward trying to create more order and integration into their lives through self-generation and self-propelled growth. The therapist must attentively be with the client fully to understand the client's feelings and, thus, accurately validate their emotions. Roger Theory reflects on a counseling method is a humanistic style, Rogers' Client-Centered Therapy (RCCT), or otherwise known as the `Pure' Client-Centered Therapy (non-directional). There is supportive (see Gerwood, 1993; Davison and Neale, 1994, Todd and Bohart, 1994), aversive (see Brown and Smart, 1991; Quinn, 1993; Ryan, 1995) and mixed (see Horvath and S... ... middle of paper ... ...herapy (Rogers, 1951), thus the beginning of his second theoretical phase. This phase moved away from mere reflection into the belief that the therapist should possess an attitude about her/his client's feelings and their capacity for change. The therapist was still to remain non-directive but would attend to particular frames of reference the client expressed, rather than reflecting generally. This phase also gave importance and definition to the client's phenomenology (i.e., multiple reality theory), organismic valuing process and innate self-actualization. Also, Rogers (1951) suggested that to be completely effective the therapist must possess and show to the client unconditional positive regard (i.e., no judgement), and genuineness (i.e., accurate empathy and reflection of feeling). These terms will be defined below and evaluated as to their fundamental accuracy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a method of correcting invalid thought patterns to a more positive view of the person and their place in their world. Some people do not believe that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a real treatment for depression, claiming it is a form of positive thinking ("The Daily Mail," 2009). On the opposite end of the spectrum, others argue that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy should be used in all therapies for depression as it allows the patient to take an active role in their treatment. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the benefit of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a viable treatment of depression, either as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other therapies.
Current research implies that an empathetic clinician-client relationship and interrelated ecosystems play the majority role in the success of therapy (Kilpatrick & Holland, 2009). The clinician’s ability to be present and actively perceive what the client is experiencing is of utmost importance in creating a therapeutic alliance. It is imperative that the clinician gains positive regard towards the client and their environment displaying honest acceptance towards the client no matter what issues are presented in session. This closely relates to a sincere presentation of genuineness that instills a feeling of honesty within the client and clinician (Kilpatrick & Holland, 2009). An experienced clinician builds upon the therapeutic
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides a collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist with the ultimate goal of identifying irrational beliefs and disputing those beliefs in an effort to change or adapt behavior (Corey, 2013). The developers of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy saw humans as capable of both rational and irrational thoughts and able to change the processes that contribute to irrational thinking (Corey, 2013). CBT is a more direct approach than some other therapy theories practiced today in that it challenges the client to identify aspects about their self through cognitions. This therapy, as discussed in Corey (2013) also provides an educational component such that therapist teach clients tools to effectively change the way they think to a healthier way. There are a multitude of techniques associated with CBT such as shame attacking exercises, changing ones language...
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of treatment to “help people see the relationship between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and subsequent behavior patterns and actions.” This therapy works by finding ways of helping a person understand what their perception is and how this might impact their well-being. Instead, they look at how they feel and act rather than them thinking it is based on what they do. This is done by “adjusting our thoughts, we can directly influence our emotions and behavior” (Good Therapy, 2017). With this in mind, understanding the person’s thought process can determine what can be causing the individual to feel a way. Furthermore, this therapy will “help unclear negative reactions and learn new, positive emotional
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy which can be used to treat a wide range of mental health problems. Cognitive Therapy is an active, directive, time limited, structured approach used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders, for example depression, anxiety, phobias (Beck, 1967). It emerged as a rational amalgam of behavioural and cognitive theories of human behaviour and is based on the idea that our thoughts determine our behaviour and feelings (Kendall PC, 1979). On average a patient attends between 5 and 20 appointments with their therapist. (Blenkiron 2013)
In it's simplest form, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (or CBT as it will be referred to from here on out), refers to the approach of changing dysfunctional behaviors and thoughts to realistic and healthy ones. CBT encompasses several types of therapy focusing on the impact of an individual's thinking as it relates to expressed behaviors. Such models include rational emotive therapy (RET), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), behavior therapy (BT), Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT), Schema Focused Therapy, Cognitive therapy (CT). Most recently a few other variations have been linked to CBT such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) (Harrington and Pickles, 2009). The main aspect that all of these branches of therapy share, is that our thoughts relate to our external behaviors. External events and individuals do not cause the negative thoughts or feelings, but, instead the perception of events and situations is the root cause (National Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapists, 2010).
As the field of counseling continues to progress numerous theoretical orientations have been developed. One theoretical approach to counseling has been coined as person centered counseling or client centered therapy. This type of approach is commonly referred to as Rogerian psychotherapy. Rogerian therapy focuses on the empowerment of individuals with the inner self. These constructs are vital to ensuring and promoting a transparent and honest atmosphere which subsequently results in effective counseling. The behaviors that are found in client centered counseling are valuable as they motivate the client to explore their "hidden feelings" and become aware of where their feelings derive from. Being afforded the rare opportunity to see Rogers
In the preparation phase, the therapist starts to teach the client some self-care techniques that could guide the client to control his/her emotions (Bartson, 2011). Self-care techniques are also very helpful in guiding the clients’ emotions during and between sessions (Bartson, 2011). In this stage of the therapy, the therapist is able to thoroughly explain the therapy to the patient in the aspect of the process, expectations during and after therapy (Bartson, 2011). Trust is usually developed in this phase of the therapy between the therapist and the client (Bartson,
“Ellis developed and popularized the ABC model of emotions, and later modified the model to the A-B-C-D-E approach. In the 1990's Ellis renamed his approach Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. In the 1960's, Aaron Beck, M.D. developed his approach called Cognitive Therapy. Beck's approach became known for its effective treatment of depression. Also in the 1960's Maxie C. Maultsby, Jr., M.D. (a student of Ellis') developed Rational Behavior Therapy. Maultsby's contributions were numerous, including his emphasis on client rational self-counseling skills and therapeutic homework. Maultsby's contributi...
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a counselling model based greatly on talking therapy. It focuses on peoples underlying thoughts and past experiences, and how they influence current habits and behaviours. CBT tries to correct these and learn alternative ways of processing information to alter the undesired behaviour and/or habits. This is done through a combination of cognitive therapy (looking at the ways and things you think) and behavioural therapy (looking at the things you do).
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of treatment that focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors (NAMI, 2012). It is designed to modify the individual’s normative dysfunctional thoughts. The basic cognitive technique consists of delineating the individual's specific misconceptions, distortions, and maladaptive assumptions, and of testing their validity and reasonableness (Beck, 1970). By exploring thought patterns that lead to maladaptive behaviors and actions and the beliefs that direct these thoughts, people with mental illness can alter their thought process to improve coping. CBT is different from oth...
Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) was established by Albert Ellis and he has found that what individuals accepted unequivocally influenced how they responded rationally. Accordingly, when their beliefs became irrational, it would make individuals feel skeptical, edgy or bad tempered and would even prompt pounding toward oneself state of mind (Psych Central.com, 2014). REBT is a pragmatic methodology to help people in taking care of and vanquishing troubles and in addition attaining objectives. REBT places a decent arrangement of its point of convergence on the present and locations state of mind, undesirable feelings and nonadaptive practices that can affect life fulfillment adversely. REBT additionally gives a show
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) focuses on working with thinking and acting rather than expressing primary feelings. REBT assumes humans are born with a potential for both rational and irrational thinking. REBT sustains negative emotions caused by what we tell ourselves, so what we tell ourselves about situations is what upsets us – not the situation. Three main concepts of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy are View of Human Nature, View of Emotional Disturbance, and A-B-C Framework. View of Human Nature is based on the assumption that human beings are born with rational (e.g., straight) and irrational thinking (e.g., crooked).

Shelder (2010) describes seven distinguished features of Psychodynamic approach compared to other available therapy forms in his review: focus of effect in relation to client’s express of emotions; understanding resistance in terms of avoidance of important topics and/ or distracting behaviors in therapy sessions; exploring client’s patterns in terms of behaviors, reasoning, emotions, experiences, and connections to others; bringing in the client’s past; examining relational factors and dealings; highlighting the importance of therapy, and bringing in dreams, wishes, or fantasies for exploration.
