Devised by Albert Ellis in 1955, and subsequently further developed and refined, REBT is based on the principle that ‘People are not disturbed by the adversities that they face. Rather, they disturb themselves about these adversities by the rigid and extreme attitudes that they hold towards them.’ REBT therapists seek to help their clients identify, examine and change the rigid and extreme attitudes that underpin their emotional problems, and to develop alternative flexible and non-extreme alternative attitudes. As therapy proceeds, the therapist will help the client to take increasing responsibility for using these methods, with the ultimate aim that they become their own therapist.

Especially helpful are the recommendations to overcome common obstacles encountered in the therapeutic process, which are often overlooked in counselling and therapy books.

Once again, Windy Dryden does not disappoint with this gem. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to gain in-depth knowledge of the principles and practice of REBT.' – Kristene A. Doyle, Director, Albert Ellis Institute, New York. 'Here is another gem showcasing Professor Dryden’s wit, erudition and skills as a teacher and a clinician. In this compelling masterpiece, Professor Dryden draws on years of experience to bring to the readers a meticulous presentation of both theory and practice of REBT.   Using examples based on his work with clients, he comprehensively covers various nuances of classic REBT and adds to it his unique contributions that enhance its efficiency and effectiveness as a therapeutic model.  The chapter dedicated to a transcript of his single session of REBT with a client, with his commentary, especially makes it a mandatory reading for all students and practitioners of REBT.' – Swati Khanolkar, clinical psychologist, associate fellow and supervisor, Albert Ellis Institute, India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries introduction, Introduction, 1: The origins of REBT and its place in the therapeutic realm, 2: Two basic ideas, 3: REBT’s view of emotional disturbance and health: the situational ABC framework, 4: The working alliance in REBT: A framework for practice, 5: Beginning REBT, 6: Developing and maintaining a problem focus, 7: Developing and maintaining a goal focus, 8: Developing and maintaining a solution focus I: Promoting intellectual insight, 9: Developing and maintaining a solution focus II: Promoting emotional insight, 10: Promoting maintenance and generalisation, 11: Dealing with obstacles to change, 12: Client study: A transcript of single-session REBT, 13: Research into REBT, Appendix 1: Resources for learning, Appendix 2: Eight unhealthy and healthy emotions, Appendix 3: The Dryden REBT form, Appendix 4: The wise rabbi story, Glossary, References, Index","brand":"PCCS Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742592643415,"sku":"9781910919965","price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781910919965.jpg?v=1720062044"},{"product_id":"attention-span-9780008526009","title":"Attention Span","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAS SEEN ON ARMCHAIR EXPERT WITH DAX SHEPARD AND IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, NEW YORK TIMES AND THE TIMES**A COSMOPOLITAN BEST NEW NON-FICTION BOOK TO ADD TO YOUR TBR IN 2023****A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB MUST-READ**Rediscover your ability to pay attention with this groundbreaking new approach from the definitive expert on distraction and multitasking' (Cal Newport).We spend an average of just 47 seconds on any screen before shifting our attention.

The book has a much more clinical feel than many other CBT texts: the balance between theory and practice is much more weighted towards the latter; there is more acknowledgement of difficulties and complexities presented by patients in real life and therefore the attitude conveyed shows more humility in the face of such difficulties, making frequent references to therapists' needs for supervision, and so forth, while still conveying enthusiasm and optimism. * British Journal of Clinical Psychology *\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers an excellent practical guide in how to carry out effective behavioural experiments...

He looks at the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy and microdosing, applying elements of the psychedelic therapy model as a way of optimising the conditions for sleep. He recommends thirteen natural ways we can drift into a deep and restorative sleep, including hypnotherapy, Yoga Nidra, sophrology, progressive muscle relaxation, and white, pink, and grey noise, and provides scripts for five of these techniques.

There are several approaches to the study of cognitive science. These approaches may be classified broadly as symbolic, connectionist, and dynamic systems. Symbolic holds that cognition can be explained using operations on symbols, by means of explicit computational theories and models of mental (but not brain) processes analogous to the workings of a digital computer. Connectionist (subsymbolic) holds that cognition can only be modelled and explained by using artificial neural networks on the level of physical brain properties. Hybrid systems hold that cognition is best modelled using both connectionist and symbolic models, and possibly other computational techniques. Dynamic Systems hold that cognition can be explained by means of a continuous dynamical system in which all the elements are interrelated, like the Watt Governor.
