You probably notice that some clients are naturally more receptive to “going deep” in session. These clients may benefit from a more philosophically engaging approach to therapy. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is just that, and it can be a superb alternative to standard CBT, especially for our more cognitively flexible clients. REBT is considered a foundational approach under the broader umbrella of CBT, carrying many decades of evidence-informed clinical research support for a broad array of conditions. Additionally, REBT is considered highly adaptive across cultures, age groups, and clinical settings, making it a fantastic clinical toolset for clinicians working in all areas of mental health.

In this three-hour workshop, leading British Cognitive Behavior expert, professor, and clinician Dr. Windy Dryden will discuss the distinctive features of REBT theory and practice. In particular, he will provide a modern perspective on REBT’s ABC framework and outline a step-by-step guide for using REBT with clients. In doing the latter, Dr. Dryden will introduce and describe several effective and efficient techniques he has found helpful in his 40+ years of using these techniques successfully with his own clients in practice.
