REBT theoretical premise:
assists individuals in ridding their lives of inefficient, demanding thought patterns that lead to misery and disappointment. Associated with Albert Ellis; therapeutic model that stresses reciprocal interactions among cognition, emotion, and behavior.
Five ways of learning irrational beliefs:
1. Direct experience 2. Vicarious experience 3. Direct instruction 4. Symbolic logic: used representation (anger destroys parents’ marriage, child concludes all anger is destructive and bad, and angry people are bad people) 5. Misinterpretation of cause and effect
The ABC's of REBT:
A: Activating event (starting point, not causal) B: Beliefs (faulty when they make generalizations, reinforce feelings of inadequacy, and so on) C: Consequences: results of faulty beliefs (self-defeating behaviors and feelings) D: Disputing: the key therapeutic technique, in which counselor challenges client’s faulty beliefs and assumptions. E: Effect: intended result of application of REBT, a cognitive change, rational thinking. F: Feeling: a new set of feelings, appropriate to situations.
Triple Column technique:
designed to detect irrational thoughts and beliefs. Column 1: Automatic Thought: I am dumb Column 2: Cognitive Distortion: I should be able to be competent at everything at all times Column 3: Rational Response: I am human and do not have to be perfect all the time.
Ten irrational demands:
1. I must be loved and respected by everyone who knows me. 2. I expect justice in the world, and cannot live in a world without it. 3. I have no control over my own happiness; my happiness/unhappiness is dependent upon external events 4. I am a prisoner of my past and can never escape 5. There must be a solution to every human problem 6. The way to happiness is to enjoy yourself all the time 7. Other people are happier and better adjusted than I am, and I need to be like them 8. I must express and vent my anger when ever I experience it 9. The more isolated I am from others, the better I like it 10. No matter how outlandish a thought or belief might seem, stick to it, because you are right and everyone else is wrong.
Three Musts
1. I must be thoroughly competent, adequate, achieving, and lovable at all times, or else I am worthless. 2. Others should treat me kindly and fairly at all times, or else they are evil, rotten people who should be blamed, damned, and punished for their horrible treatment of me. 3. The world must be exactly the way I want it to be, never too difficult or frustrating. Otherwise, life is catastrophic and unbearable. (like Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-good, Very Bad Day).
Other techniques of REBT
1. Continuum (rating a negative feeling on a scale, then decreasing impact of that feeling) 2. Teaching ABC model 3. Personal Discovery 4. Self-exploration 5. Positive Self-talk 6. REBT self-help form 7. Triple Column 8. Humor 9. Confronting 10. Unconditional positive self-regard 11. Forceful coping statements 12. Analogies and images
