A Practitioner's Guide to Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy
"Albert Ellis's legacy of his Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy has been left in good hands. With the third edition of this seminal work, Ellis's voice continues to educate, stimulate, and provide a core system for understanding and practicing REBT/CBT. Ray, Kristene, Windy, and Wouter continue to grow and develop the model for the next generation of clinicians to treat the next generations of patients." -- Arthur Freeman, EdD, ABPP, Executive Director, Clinical Psychology Programs, Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL and Glendale, AZ"This book is really a gem, putting rational-emotive and cognitive-behavior theory and therapy in the context of modern psychological sciences. It has all the ingredients needed for a reference book in the field: an updated and clearly presented theory and really excellent practical parts. It is a must-read for practitioners, researchers, and students in the fields of clinical psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy." -- Daniel David, PhD, Professor, Babes-Bolyai University; Adjunct Professor, Mount Sinai School of Medicine; and President, International Institute for the Advanced Study of Psychotherapy and Applied Mental Health"The authors are among the world's leading researchers and practitioners of REBT.  Their scholarship informs a clear, incisive description of the concepts underlying REBT and the empirical evidence bearing on these concepts.  Of greatest importance for clinicians and trainees, they are able to translate these concepts into specific, practical recommendations for implementing the treatment.  Their vast clinical experience and expertise shine through in the numerous clinical vignettes used to illustrate how to manage some of our thorniest therapeutic challenges." -- David Haaga, PhD, Professor of Psychology, American University"This is an excellent update of a very important book. I would highly recommend it to therapists of any orientation and it is MUST for cognitive behavior therapists." -- Louis H. Primavera, PhD, Dean, School of Health Sciences, Touro College and University System"With its step-by-step approach and many clinical examples, this excellent bookis extremely practical, providing clinicians with many therapeutic tools.
