Innovations in Rational-Emotive Therapy

An ideal psychology graduate text or an invaluable resource book for the professional, Innovations in Rational-Emotive Therapy brings together a selection of articles which examine problems that have received insufficient coverage in past rational-emotive literature. In the opening chapter, Albert Ellis, the pioneer of rational-emotive therapy, gives an up-to-date overview of the fundamentals of RET and sets the stage for the chapters that follow. Then, the distinguished contributors identify a problem from a specific population, present a rational-emotive concept, and offer a special treatment strategy. Topics addressed include adult children of alcoholics, chronic pain, sudden infant death syndrome, divorce adjustment, overcoming performance anxiety, pathological gambling, fear of flying, managing change in the workplace, and helping mentally retarded clients develop self-control. Vibrant and illustrative, Innovations in Rational-Emotive Therapy will benefit professionals and students of psychology, counseling, and the human services. "As with other books from the Dryden stable, this book is well organized. The case histories given in each well structured chapter usefully illustrate the points made. It is easy to read and should appeal to psychologists and therapists interested in furthering their knowledge and clinical use of REBT." --International Review of Psychology "This book is well-written, with good case examples in each chapter. Although intended for counselors and counselors in-training, the book will interest anyone who wants to understand more about psychotherapy. General; advanced undergraduate through professional." --Choice "This book contains a useful collection of contributions on how rational-emotive therapy (RET) may be applied to a range of psychological problems considered not to have received sufficient attention before. . . . By drawing attention to some of these new development in the practice of RET, this book will be of particular value to those interested in RET and the cognitive-behavioural approach in general." --British Journal of Psychiatry
