    BEHAVIOUR THERAPY
    (REBT)

    Albert

    Ellis concluded that


    psychoanalysis was a
    relatively superficial and
    unscientific form of
    treatment.
    He form the REBT by
    combining from humanistic,
    philosophical and behavioural
    therapy.

    REBT Assumptions of Human


    Nature

    According to Ellis, humans are both rational


    and irrational, sensible and crazy.
    Irrational thoughts or irrational beliefs
    contribute to negative emotions and
    ineffective behaviour.
    He believed that when people have emotional
    problems, their irrational thoughts would lead
    to verbalisation or self-talk that is based on
    faulty logic and assumptions. Subsequently,
    what people tell themselves is related to the
    way feel or act.

    Irrational Beliefs
    1 I must be loved or

    everyone in my life or else
    I am not good or I am
    worthless

    Example
    My children
    dont like me.
    I must be a
    useless
    mother.

    2 I should be perfectly
    competent, adequate and
    achieving everything in

    I am not good

    I guess I am

    Purpose of Counselling and Role


    of the Counsellor
    Goal of REBT
    -To reduce or eliminate irrational behaviour by
    changing irrational thoughts.
    -The primary goal of counselling is to make
    clients aware of their irrational ways of
    thinking, and help them stop making
    demands and becoming upset with their own
    strict ways of thinking.

    Counselling Techniques

    The techniques focus mainly on teaching the


    clients and disputing their irrational beliefs.
    After exploring the clients situation, the
    counselor explains the basic principles of the
    activating events, beliefs and emotions. This
    known as rational emotive education.
    In the second part where the counselor
    disputes the clients irrational beliefs, the
    counselor may directly attack the clients logic,
    challenge their thinking, and confront them
    with evidence contrary to their beliefs.

    Counselling Techniques

    Using cognitive disputation, the counselor


    uses a lot of direct questions, logical reasoning
    and persuasion.
    When using imaginative disputation, the
    counselor will ask clients to imagine using the
    rational emotive imagery.
    In using behavioural disputation, the counselor
    may ask clients to role play and act out the
    behaviour opposite to clients usual way, or
    give clients homework where they have to
    practice or read some assigned materials.
