Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) was developed in the 1950's.
It is the original cognitive therapy which has many derivatives e.g. Choice
Theory (Glasser) Cognitve Behaviour Therapy (Beck) Positve Psychology
(Seligman). This 1 hour workshop looks at REBT, its philosophical underpinnings
and the ABC Theory of Emotional Disturbance, the counselling model used by
psychologists and counsellors the world over.
''The future of psychotherapy is in the school system.'' Albert Ellis,
creator of REBT

Graduate teachers will say that amongst their main concerns when
beginning their career is how to establish and maintain an effective
behaviour education program. What models are there to base their practise on?
How is their philosophy of learning reflected in their practise? Do they use a
punitive approach to behaviour education or an educative one?

The workshop (above) is the first of a program of learning designed to
help educators, counsellors and parent/carers provide a counselling based
approach to behaviour education which helps students learn how to manage
themselves constructively especially in challenging situations.
Albert Ellis may not be with us anymore but his work is as relevant as
ever especially in the school setting!
