Chapter 9- Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
Rational Emotive Behavior Technique (REBT) was founded by Albert Ellis. According to Elli,s humans have full control over their behaviors and thoughts despite surrounding issues and past problems. Individuals that typically seek REBT are individuals that are having issues taking ownership and control of their feelings. In REBT the goal is to eliminate irrational behavior and thoughts, in pursuit of a happier self view. This technique is more direct than other theories. The other main goal in REBT is to educate the client about REBT in hopes that it will help them avoid negative thoughts and achieve/adopt a healthier lifestyle.
When examining REBT and reflecting on students, I find this technique helpful once I've created rapport with students. In college, I think it is imperative for students to learn responsibility and self ownership. While there are numerous hurdles students may come across, they must learn to face them and overcome them. Part of the college experience is to be challenged. Therefore, helping student take ownership via REBT may help them be successful in college and their future careers.
