Client Centered Therapy and Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy

The role I chose in this case study was Elliot Stabler, a detective of special victim laws and orders. Detective investigation of the special victim sector includes crimes of sexual assault (Agnelli, 2014). We also deal with killing, kidnapping, robbery and child pornography. () Detective stabler comes from an Irish-American Catholic family. (Agnelli, 2014). He is a devout Catholic and his belief sometimes complicates the case he deals with. (Agnelli, 2014). In his early days, the detective Stabler had a hard time with his parents; his father physically and mentally abused him.

Ellis, Albert - (1913-) An American psychologist who developed cognitive behavioral therapy called rational emotional therapy. Ellis was trained as a psychoanalyst, but I found that the psychoanalytic method was too limited. His reasonable emotional therapy is based on the idea that self-destructive thinking can lead to psychological problems. Erikson, Erik - (1902-1994) is an important contributor to research and development throughout the life cycle. Ericsson proposed a theory that people experienced eight stages of development. Ericsson published his most influential book "Children and Society" in 1950. The book "Gandhi Truth" published in 1969 received the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.

Rational emotional behavioral therapy is one of the earliest cognitive therapies. Ellis first developed REBT in the early 1950's and initially called his method a reasonable treatment. In 1959, this technique was re-known as a rational emotional therapy, and in the latter half of 1992 rational emotional behavioral therapy was reintroduced. Ellis continued to study REBT until his death in 2007. The first step in this process is to identify irrational thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. It leads to psychological distress. In many cases these irrational beliefs are absolutely reflected. For example, "need to", "should", or "can not" etc. Ellis thinks that the most common irrational beliefs are as follows.

There are some differences between rational emotional behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. Recognition of dysfunctional beliefs is completely different. Through rational emotional behavioral therapy, it is generally believed that customer beliefs are irrational. For example, parents say to children "to make me angry", the real way to express this is that your action makes me angry. Your anger is your responsibility. In the case of cognitive therapy, belief that dysfunction is a problem. For example, "I was not a good counselor as I was not doing well in the first exam." This is an over-generalized person who makes a negative summary based on a specific event.
