Dealing with Emotional Problems Using Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) - A Practitioner's Guide (2nd edition)

In this practical companion to the client manual, Windy Dryden draws on Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) – an approach that focuses on challenging and changing the rigid and extreme attitudes that largely determine emotional and behavioural issues – to encourage people to deal with their emotional problems. Including all of the information presented in the Client’s Guide with the addition of helpful hints and tips for the therapist, the Practitioner’s Guide is straightforward to use in the consulting room with no need for further references. It allows the therapist to work through and help the client learn to deal with their problems from an REBT perspective, covering: • anxiety • depression • guilt • shame • hurt • unhealthy anger • unhealthy jealousy • unhealthy envy • and a new chapter on unhealthy regret. This practical guide presents each emotion in a similar way, allowing the reader to compare and contrast common and distinctive features of each problem. With new REBT research and updated, accessible terminology, this new edition will remain essential reading for any professional using REBT with their client.
