Synopsis

Take control of your emotions with rational emotive behaviour therapy. Dr. Ellis maintains that most depressive emotions are the result of an unconscious decision to be unhappy - his REBT programme is designed to enable the reader to choose positivity. The fundamental tenet of "Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy" is simple: most emotional misery and psychological disturbances are unnecessary over-reactions and can be significantly reduced. Not only are anxiety, anger and depression unnecessary, they are unethical - because when a person allows his or her self to become emotionally disturbed they are being unfair and unjust...to themselves. Dr. Ellis contends that people create their own feelings and choose to think and feel in self-harming ways. "Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy" offers a key to escape this trap. Given the stresses and strains of modern-day living, the last thing anyone needs are the inhibiting crippling problems they bring on themselves through the ways they think and feel about the world and the people around them. The simple, logical method espoused by REBT is the soundest approach yet devised to acquiring true mental health and happiness.
