This up-to-date comprehensive guidebook -- an all-new, revised resource for practicing therapists from the father of rational therapy -- includes thorough discussions of theory and procedures, case examples, and dozens of exercises.

Now known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Ellis's systematic, integrative approach has grown and matured into a powerful mainstream psychotherapy. Hundreds of thousands of patients have benefited from the active interventions of therapists using the REBT model. Major themes in this user-friendly manual: Theory of REBT; Practice of REBT; Main Cognitive Techniques; Main Emotive and Experiential Techniques; Main Behavioral Techniques; Integration of REBT with Other Therapies; Summary and Conclusions.
