In this book, Professor Dryden outlines seven core principles of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. Arguing that effective REBT is based on the development and maintenance of a good working alliance, Professor Dryden states that the REB therapist first needs to encourage the client to assume emotional responsibility and see that their problems are underpinned by a set of rigid and extreme attitudes which need to be changed Professor Dryden emphasizes that effective REBT is also based on an accurate adversity-based assessment of the client’s problems and on goal-setting that acknowledges ...

The REBT model holds that rigid and extreme attitudes are at the core of emotional problems and flexible ...

In this book, Windy Dryden explains why he now refers to the single-session therapy work that he does as ONEplus therapy. Two consistent themes that run through the book are that help is best provided at point of client need and that while therapist and client agree to work together to provide the help the client wants in one session (the ONE in ONEplus therapy), further help is available on request (the plus in ONEplus therapy). In the first part of the book, Windy details what a therapist needs to do to become a ONEplus (SST) therapist. In discussing the knowledge that a trainee needs, he...

This book is designed to be used by counsellors and therapists who are new to single-session therapy and who, having had some training in SST, wish to offer this mode of therapy delivery to their clients who are seeking help with specific problems.

While I have presented these steps logically, I do not suggest therapists use them in this order. The best way to use these steps is to view them like a handy person ...
