==The ABCs of RET==

I don't think the ABCs in RET are a personality theory, or a theory at all. The ABCs are a ''method'' of identifying irrational ideas and beliefs about events and the emotional and behavioural consequences of those beliefs. It has been years since I studied RET so I'll break out a few of my books and see if I can contribute to and also clarify some of the article.

I did change the word ''soley'' to ''primarily'' because RET (Ellis) does not suggest ''all'' human emotional disturbance is the result of thoughts and beliefs.

Controversy and Criticisms

Are there any major criticisms of REBT? It usually seems that most psychology-related articles have a major section for controversies. GoodSirJava 19:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hmmmm Not so many. REBT has a lot of scientific research behind it... but I will dig some. Sethie 01:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
