Overview
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help individuals resolve emotional and behavioral problems by identifying and challenging their erroneous beliefs. Developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s, REBT is based on the idea that people's beliefs about situations can cause disturbance, but can also be disputed and changed. With over 60 years of research and practice, REBT has been applied in various settings, including mental health clinics, schools, and businesses, and has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. As of 2022, REBT has been recognized as an evidence-based therapy by the American Psychological Association, with over 1,000 studies supporting its efficacy. Today, REBT is practiced by thousands of therapists worldwide, including notable practitioners such as [[cognitive-behavioral-therapy|Aaron Beck]] and [[david-bernstein|David Bernstein]].
