The theories and practices of REBT have been heavily revised, expanded, corrected and updated since its inception in 1955. This book takes into consideration those REBT therapists who criticize the constant dissection of the therapy, claiming that these innovations make it too complicated for most clients and even for some therapists. Innovations are the lifeblood of any therapy that wishes to remain dynamic. This book, written in an easy-to-read style, strips away the sophistication that can cause confusion and focuses on the essential elements of REBT.
