Counselling Employees: The Rational‐Emotive Approach

Abstract

Presents an overview of the basic theory and practice of Rational‐Emotive Therapy (RET). Discusses the goals and values of RET, including its view of the three main irrational ideas which underpin emotional disturbance. Outlines RET in action through a case example. Concludes that, while RET focuses on the individual, its emphasis on striving for well‐being and fulfilment usually entails social and organisational dividends.
