Question 4-1
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is an active and practical approach that aids individuals to cope with and overcome adversity as well as achieve their goals. It places a great deal of its focus on the present. Because of these reasons REBT and other behavioral theories address populations that have bad attitudes, unhealthy emotions (e.g., depression, guilt, anxiety, unhealthy anger, etc.). It also addresses those under the following mental health categories; maladaptive behaviors (e.g., unhealthy eating, aggression, addictive behavior, unhealthy eating etc.). Such maladatpive behaviors have a negative impact on life satisfaction ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1891/0889-8391.22.3.195", "ISBN" : "08898391", "ISSN" : "08898391", "PMID" : "33294550", "abstract" : "In this review of the current status of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), we consider two of Ellis's strategies that have helped preserve REBT's presence in the professional zeitgeist. We argue that REBT should be viewed as a unitary approach to cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and outline its distinctive theoretical and practical features. We acknowledge the reciprocal influence that REBT and CBT have had on one another and provide three examples of such influence. Finally, we provide a brief summary of the current status of REBT research.", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Dryden", "given" : "Windy", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "David", "given" : "Daniel", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issue" : "3", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2008" ] ] }, "page" : "195-209", "title" : "Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy: Current Status", "type" : "article-journal", "volume" : "22" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=bc3b2661-297f-4358-9b3a-72f600e5d2a2", "/documents/?uuid=054b0052-a41d-4dec-a387-3eb2187ede3b" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Dryden and David 2008)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Dryden and David 2008)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Dryden and David 2008)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Dryden and David 2008). REBT practitioners are very close with individuals. This is because they seek to identify their set of beliefs (expectations, attitudes, and personal rules) that lead to emotional distress.
Question 4-2
REBT and behavioral theories can be used with clients from different cultural backgrounds. These theories are thought to be more effective when working with culturally diverse clients. Clients are encouraged to stand by their cultural reality. Long-held cultural beliefs are only assessed when they are suspected to cause the individual dysfunctional behaviors or emotions ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1007/s10942-011-0139-z", "ISBN" : "0894-9085", "ISSN" : "08949085", "abstract" : "Professional development in schools is often conducted to assist teachers in curriculum, instruction, and general pedagogy. Little emphasis is placed on social-emotional issues experienced by teachers, although high levels of stress and burnout are common. School counselors are in an ideal position to support teachers by providing consultation focused on social-emotional health. This qualitative investigation explored teachers' experiences with Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Teachers participated in Rational Emotive Behavior-Group Consultation conducted by a school counselor for six sessions across 7 weeks. Data were collected with questionnaires administered at the conclusion of the group consultation. Consensual Qualitative Research was utilized to analyze the data and identify categories, domains, and core ideas. Emergent themes included increased wellbeing and improved relationships. Implications for teachers, students, and school counselors along with recommendations for ...
