Synopsis

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), developed by Albert Ellis in the mid-1950s and recognised as the first of the modern cognitive-behavioural therapies, holds that psychological difficulties stem from rigid and extreme attitudes people adopt when facing life’s adversities.

In this clear and accessible introduction, Windy Dryden presents the essential principles of REBT for students considering training in the approach. The book outlines the ABC framework, showing how adversity at A interacts with basic attitudes at B to create emotional, behavioural and thinking consequences at C. Through this structure, readers learn how inflexible attitudes give rise to unhealthy negative emotions, and how flexible attitudes promote healthier emotional responses.

The text explains the crucial difference between intellectual and emotional insight, guides the formation of a strong working alliance, and introduces the preferred treatment sequence of disturbance, dissatisfaction, and development. Throughout, Windy Dryden equips readers with the foundations required for effective REBT practice, supporting them as they develop the skills needed to help clients achieve lasting attitude change and, ultimately, learn to become their own therapist.
