273 Pages : pbk. 21 cm. *Humanistic Psychotherapy: The Rational Emotive Approach* by Albert Ellis outlines the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy grounded in humanistic philosophy. Ellis emphasizes the idea that emotional and behavioral disturbances are largely caused by irrational beliefs, and that individuals can learn to challenge and replace these with more rational, self-helping thoughts. The book promotes personal responsibility, self-acceptance, and the belief that people can change their emotions by changing their thinking. Through practical techniques, Ellis combines humanistic respect for individual potential with a structured, action-oriented therapeutic method. Albert Ellis Includes Index.
