Summary:

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