Rebt Cognitive Theory Case Study
REBT Cognitive Theory Case Study of Chris:
A Conceptualization and Treatment Plan
Abstract
Rational emotive behavior therapy, REBT, considers human beings as responsibly hedonistic in the significance that they attempt to stay alive and attain some level of happiness. However, it also holds that humans are likely to accept illogical beliefs and actions which continue to be in the way of accomplishing their aspirations and intentions. Often, these irrational beliefs or ideas come into being tremendous musts, shoulds, or oughts; they differ with realistic and adaptable wishes, needs, inclinations, and desires. The existence of great ideas can make all the distinction among vigorous depressing emotions, such as sadness or regret or concern, and harmful depressing emotions, such as depression or guilt or anxiety. REBT Cognitive Theory Case Study of Chris: A Conceptualization and Treatment Plan These theories developed by Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck are focused on the idea that people’s viewpoints of events, others, and circumstances can have a deep impact on their thoughts and dealings. A person may become fixated with circumstances and trouble themselves unreasonably about a certain situation because of maladaptive or delinquent belief systems. These belief systems have repeatedly been created on incidents of the past, and may include practices and makeup of a particular culture or beliefs that have been recognized within a family situation. Principles such as these often have the result of restricting or one way or another modifying the events and/or needs of individual—often in an illogical way. The main term used by Beck to describe an individual’s value system or way of thinking is “maladaptive cognition,” while Ellis uses the terms “irrational belief”. Each of these cognitive theorists have developed a therapeutic model which looks for a way to erase or alleviate the troubles of these beliefs.
