In this title, highly respected and best-selling author, Windy Dryden, discusses some of the ideas that are central to the theory underpinning Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). Founded in 1955 by Albert Ellis (1913-2007) and developed in the intervening years, REBT was the first approach to be created within what is now known as the cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) tradition.
