Opis

Comprising theories from the various schools of thought classified as cognitive-behavioral (including REBT), this book covers the historical development, theory, process, evaluation and application of the various methods falling under this approach. CBT and REBT approaches are based largely on the work of Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis and encourage clients to be active participants in their own treatment. The book will help counselors in training appreciate and learn the techniques associated with this approach via transcripts of actual client sessions containing examples of how clients respond differently.

Using a common factors approach, this book will help counselors-in-training consider theories from the perspective of the client, and what makes sense to him/her. It will show that theory and technique are good inasmuch as they aid clients in understanding their present situation and what they need to do in order to improve it.
