Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

Michael R. Edelstein

Feb. 22, 2015

New HCSV Executive Director Julie Wedge will talk with Dr. Michael R. Edelstein about Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). REBT is a present-centered, active-directive form of psychotherapy devised in 1955 by noted humanist and pioneering psychologist Dr. Albert Ellis. REBT helps individuals identify the dysfunctional philosophies at the core of their anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, and addictions, then teaches them how to change their thinking. REBT spawned the many varieties of cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) currently practiced. Questions from the audience will be taken and also can be submitted in advance to: Julie Wedge at humanistsv@gmail.com. Michael R. Edelstein, Ph.D, is a clinical psychologist and author of 4 books, including Three Minute Therapy. He was a patient of, then trained with, Dr. Albert Ellis. Dr. Edelstein has a phone, Skype, and in-person REBT therapy practice. His website is www.ThreeMinuteTherapy.com.
