Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy in a Nutshell

by Michael Neenan (Editor), Windy Dryden

Students embarking on Rational Emotive Behavior 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. The authors 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. The book opens with an explanation of the ABCDE Model of Emotional Disturbance and Change which is the centrepiece of REBT theory and practice. The authors present the model in a way which is easy to grasp, but also has the depth of coverage needed for full understanding.

Just as the title implies, a very readable concise overview of REBT without the thrills and jargon which makes it easier to grasp. Great book, thank you!

Ini buku bagus yang menjelaskan praktik REBT, meskipun jika kita membandingkan dengan buku REBT karya Ellis, buku ini lebih "pelan". Detail yang dibuat juga lebih banyak, sehingga membuat mahasiswa yang membaca ini lebih mengerti dan punya pegangan bagaimana cara mengucapkan teknik-teknik tertentu dalam REBT.
