"Learn to use Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy with clients struggling with addiction by watching the originator of the method in an actual therapy session. Albert Ellis demonstrates his signature style with a difficult client; using rationality, strong language, and forceful directives, he is remarkably effective in just one session"--Container
"In this training video, Albert Ellis demonstrates Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy with a client struggling with addiction. Orville would like to reduce his marijuana, alcohol, and hallucinogen dependency but doesn't know how. Ellis immediately focuses in on Orville's low frustration tolerance and "self-downing" as the irrational beliefs that sustain his drug and alcohol addictions. Ellis remains focused on the issue at hand, pushing Orville to grapple with beliefs that are tough to change and addictive behaviors that are difficult to conquer. Using rationality, strong language, and forceful directives, he is remarkably effective in just one session. You will learn to use REBT techniques with clients struggling with addiction, including offering hypotheses about and disputing irrational beliefs, recognizing secondary gains, and supporting rational thinking. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher
