`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

Revised and updated to take account of developments in the field, 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.
