Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Decent Essays
Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) accentuates thoughts. REBT was created by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. Ellis continued advocating and being the essential supporter for this approach until his passing in 2007 at 93 years old (Seligman & Reichenberg, 2013). The focal premise of REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) is that our feelings and practices (how we feel and act) are unequivocally affected by how we think. REBT standard is that occurances alone don't bring about feelings of highly anxiety, being enraged or depressed. Therefore, rearringing and swapping out our thoughts for better ones will change a client's behavior, oulook, or emotions. In this manner, changing our reasoning can be a capable approach to change our feelings

Ultimately, this form of therapy aims to promote rational or logical analysis of thoughts and circumstantial triggers, and to understand the consequences they have in the patient’s thinking and behavior (Antshel et al., 2012). The positive outcomes of CBT have been consistently reported in the literature.

When people encounter problems, it is because one of these needs are not being met.
