Three Approaches to Psychotherapy - Ellis
PSY DVD0502
Albert Ellis' approach, Rational Emotive Psychotherapy, deals primarily with the client's thoughts and how the client views life events. Ellis challenges Gloria's absolutes, her "awfulizing" and "catastrophizing", that make her feel so dissatisfied with herself and that sabotage her relationships with others. He tells her that the irrational things she says to herself cause her negative feelings and her consequent behaviors, and she begins to discover that by correcting her irrational thoughts she can reverse their consequences. 36 mins.
