Absolutely brilliant. I think I’m right in saying that “rational emotive therapy” is a precursor to CBT now so popular in mainstream mental healthcare. Really easy to understand, enlightening and, most importantly, helpful. As a school teacher, I often use these tools to help distressed kids get a new perspective on how their beliefs may be hurting them - rather than anything intrinsically wrong with the World.
