Rational Emotive Behavioural Counselling in Action by Windy Dryden

Revised and updated to take account of developments in the field, the new edition of Rational Emotive Behavioural Counselling in Action is a practical and accessible introduction for anyone starting counselling training and for counsellors who want to expand their practice with a different approach.The book describes the approach which focuses on helping clients to identify the self-defeating beliefs behind their problems and to think, feel and behave differently as a means of achieving valued goals. A carefully selected case study is developed throughout the book to show how rational emotive behavioural techniques work in practice. The author follows the client and counsellor through the stages of the counselling process, including the first meeting and assessment, the contract and homework assignments, helping the client maintain his or her gains, and the termination of counselling

`This book is a good introduction to the field of rational emotive behavioural counselling and will be useful for counsellors who wish to aquaint themselves with the basics of the rational emotive behavioural approach to counselling and psychotherapy′ -Eisteach

Some reviews of the first edition..

`As the creator of Rational Emotive Therapy I have probably read more books dealing with its theory and practice than has anyone else. Of all these books, Windy Dryden′s is easily one of the best. In a remarkably concise way he has distilled most of the main principles and methods into a small, highly practical and exceptionally readable volume. Any counsellor or therapist who wants to know what RET is really about and to start applying it in his or her own practice will find this book unusually useful and valuable′ - Albert Ellis, British Journal of Guidance and Counselling

`Will undoubtedly become required reading on all basic courses in counselling... this book provides a succinct and intelligible introduction to RET and a manual for trying it out... excellent material for students, practitioners and trainers, a valuable addition to an excellent series′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review

`The most effective exposition of the basic tenets of rational-emotive therapy ever written... the case examples are models of clarity and show Dryden to be an excellent technician... This is a gem of a book′ - British Journal of Medical Psychology
