Albert Ellis Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

This document summarizes several cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches: 1) Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) focuses on irrational beliefs that lead to emotional disturbances. It aims to dispute these beliefs and replace them with rational ones. 2) Cognitive Therapy (CT) assesses and treats cognitive distortions like negative thought patterns. It emphasizes empirically testing thoughts and cognitive errors. 3) Cognitive Behavior Modification (CBM) modifies self-talk and teaches new coping skills through self-observation, modeling, and exposure exercises. 4) Strength-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy incorporates client strengths and positive imagery into treatment.
