Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in a Nutshell

Students embarking on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy training are often faced with lengthy and complicated texts from which to learn the theory and practice of the approach. "Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in a Nutshell" provides a relief from this by providing a concise and comprehensive guide to all the key elements of REBT. Neenan and Dryden believe that students of REBT can enhance their knowledge of the approach only if they have fully grasped the basics first. They offer a succinct introduction to REBT which students can use as a starting point before adding to their knowledge through further reading and learning. "Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in a Nutshell" opens with an explanation of the ABCDE Model of Emotional Disturbance and Change which is the centrepiece of REBT theory and practice. Neenan and Dryden present the model in a way which is easy to grasp, but also has the depth of coverage needed for full understanding. "Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in a Nutshell" provides coverage of other fundamental areas including: assessment, disputing, homework, working through, and promoting self-change. This book will be invaluable to those embarking on REBT training who want a concise, clear and informed introduction to the approach.
