Description: grey, Wiley-Blackwell. 1994. (ISBN: 9781897635513). Paperback, 20 x 1.5 x 25 cm. Condition good, clean ref ZKVQ Rational Emotive Psychology (REP) is an approach to psychology which considers the influence that a person's beliefs (both rational and irrational), emotions and behaviours have on his or her psychological well being. This book provides an introduction to REP suitable for those encountering the field for the first time. In the opening chapter of the book, Professor Dryden gives a brief history of the development of the approach, explains what is meant by the terms "rational" and "emotive" as they are used in REP and outlines the "ABC" framework which is at the core of REP. Later chapters examine the elements of the approach in more detail and discuss the REP view of common emotional problems. The extensive use of examples throughout the text to illustrate points makes the book highly accessible to the lay reader or beginner student. Good.
