REBT (previously RET) is important not only in its own terms as an effective therapeutic approach to emotional disturbance, but also as the precursor of the cognitive-behavioural therapy movement which now exerts such an influence on the mental health field. Joseph Yankura and Windy Dryden present a lucid overview of the life and contributions of Albert Ellis. Using excerpts from Ellis's own writings to clarify the discussion, they look in particular at the famous ABC analysis which enables people to understand and deal with their problems, the key concepts of ego disturbance and discomfort disturbance, and Ellis's views on therapeutic efficiency.

Cognitive behaviour therapy is a well-researched and increasingly popular therapeutic approach used for a range of common mental health problems. Many nurses have found that it is a client-centred approach which builds on their existing communication and counselling skills. This text reflects these aspects and avoids the traditional disorder-focused model. Instead, it clarifies the key stages of therapy, enabling the reader to see how CBT can be applied to a range of situations in their own practice. Using case studies, dialogues, discussion questions and further reading, this book will demystify cognitive behaviour therapy and provide a practical resource for nurses working in mental health, learning disabilities and community fields, as well as with a range of physical health problems.
