Abstract

Rational Emotive Therapy (also known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) has its foundation in the philosophy that emotions and behaviors are the result of cognitive processes, and human beings are able to change these processes to choose different emotions and behaviors.

Rational Emotive Therapy
	The basic axiom of Rational Emotive Therapy is that almost all human emotions and behaviors are the result of what people think, assume, or believe about themselves, other people, or the world around them.    It is what people tell themselves about their situations, not the situations, that determine how they feel and behave.
	Albert Ellis, founder of Rational Emotive Therapy, developed the “ABC” model to illustrate this premise.  In this model, A represents and experience or event. B represents what people think, believe, and tell themselves about the event. C represents the emotions and behaviors that ensue from those thoughts and beliefs.
	An example of this model is presented as follows:
A. The situation or event. (what started things off)
A friend does not return my phone calls
		B.  Beliefs about A:
1. My friend is ignoring me or no longer likes me.
2. My friend has made new friends and has
