==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)
- 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)

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.
