合理情绪疗法(abc理论)（Rational emotive therapy (ABC theory)）

1、合理情绪疗法(abc理论)（Rational emotive therapy (ABC theory)）Rational emotive therapy (ABC theory)Rational emotive therapy was founded in 1950s by Ellis in the United States, it is a kind of cognitive therapy, behavior therapy therefore adopted some methods, so it is also called cognitive behavioral therapy.

2、The basic theory of rational emotive therapy is the main ABC theory, this theory is based on Elliss basic view of people. Elliss view of human nature can be summarized as follows:(1) can be both rational and reasonable, can also be irrational, unreasonable. When people go in accordance with the rati

3、onal thinking, to act, they will be very happy and full of the spirit of competition and effective action;(2) the mood is accompanied by peoples thinking, emotional or psychological distress is due to the unreasonable and illogical thinking caused by.(3) who has a biological and sociological tendenc

4、y, which tend to have reasonable thinking in the rational and irrational irrational thinking. That person has no more or less rational thinking and beliefs;(4) is the language of the animal, with the aid of language thinking, constantly with the internalization of language repetition of some irratio

5、nal beliefs, which will lead to unable to resolve emotional distress.(5) for emotional distress, is actually the result of continuous internalization of language. As Ellis said: we continue to those of what they said is often, or to become our thoughts and emotions.To this end, Ellis declared that t

6、he persons mood is not by an induced events caused by itself, but caused by experienced the events of the interpretation and evaluation of the event. This is the basic viewpoint of ABC theory. In the ABC theory, A refers to the induced events; B refers to the individual in the face of consequential

7、events induced by faith, his views of the incident, interpretation and evaluation; C refers to the specific situation, emotion and behavior of individual results.People usually think that human behavior reaction mood is directly caused by the induced events of A, namely A caused C. ABC theory points

8、 out that A induced events caused only indirectly due to emotional and behavioral responses, and people hold on the induced events beliefs, views, explain B is a more direct cause of peoples emotions and behaviors.For example: two people together in the streets, greeted their leadership, but not the

9、 other side and they greet, go straight over. The two one is like this: he is likely to think of other things, not to notice us. Even see us ignored, may also have what special reason. While another person might have different ideas: it is not the last time against his sentence, he deliberately igno

10、re me, the next step might be to deliberately find fault with me.Two different ideas will lead to two different kinds of emotional and behavioral responses. The former may feel indifferent, what to still continue to do their own; the latter is likely to heavy-hearted, calm down and do a good job. Fr

11、om this simple example we can see that there is a direct relationship between emotion and behavior and peoples ideas, views on things. Behind these ideas and opinions, people who have common views on a class of things, this is faith. The two persons faith, the former in the rational emotive therapy

12、is called a reasonable belief, while the latter is called irrational beliefs. A reasonable belief will lead to emotional and behavioral responses of things that people appropriate and moderate; but the unreasonable belief is the opposite, often leads to inappropriate emotional and behavioral respons

13、es. When people insist on some irrational beliefs in long-term bad mood, will eventually lead to emotional disorders.If you are interested in further emotional therapy, please continue reading:Whistler after summing up research, summed up the characteristics of irrational beliefs:1. absolute require

14、ments. Refers to the people to their wishes as the starting point,A thing that must have the will or will not happen in the belief that it is usually associated with must, should such words together. For example: I must succeed, other people must treat me well, life is easy etc. These convictions we

15、re likely to fall into the emotional distress, because of the occurrence and development of objective things has its rules, is not to transfer the will of the people. A particular person, he could not succeed in everything; and for an individual, performance and development of the people around him

16、and things are not likely to transfer to his will. Therefore, when certain things happen instead of things absolute contrary, they will not stand, find it difficult to accept, it is difficult to adapt to the emotional distress and fall. Rational emotive therapy is to help them change this extreme wa

17、y of thinking, understanding the absolute requirement of the unreasonable and unrealistic places, people and things to help them learn in a reasonable way to treat themselves and the surrounding, the possibility to reduce them into emotional disorders.2. excessive generalization. This is a manifesta

18、tion of all ten of the unreasonable way of thinking, to Overgeneralization. Ellis once said, excessive generalization is illogical, as if in a book cover to determine its content is the same. Overgeneralization of one aspect of people is not a reasonable assessment of its own. When faced with failur

19、e is very bad results, they tend to consider themselves Nothing is right. and not worth a penny, waste etc. To do a thing or a few things to evaluate the result of his whole person, evaluate your value as a person, the results often lead to guilt from sin, self Inferiority Psychology and anxiety and

20、 depression. Another aspect of overgeneralization is the unreasonable evaluation of others, others is a slight mistake that he is very bad, Nothing is right., which will lead to blindly blame others, resulting in hostility and anger. According to Elliss point of view, for one thing to evaluate the s

21、uccess or failure of the whole person, this is tantamount to a sense of fascism. He believes that the value of a man is that he is human, so he advocated not to evaluate the whole person, and should be replaced by the evaluation of the behavior, actions and performance. This is one of the key points

22、 that the rational emotive therapy. Because in this world, no one can reach the position of the pink of perfection, so everyone should accept yourself and others are likely to make mistakes.The 3. worst. This is a thought that if a bad thing happened, would be very terrible, very bad, even the idea

23、of a disaster. This will cause the individual into extreme negative emotions such as shame, guilt from sin, anxiety, pessimism, depression of the vicious spiral, and unable to extricate themselves. Bad is bad, bad. When a person speaks what things are terrible, terrible, he often means that the enco

24、unter is the most bad thing is a crowning calamity. Ellis pointed out that this is a kind of irrational beliefs, because of any one thing, have better, no one thing can be defined as one hundred percent is awful. When a person along the way to go, think about the worst thing worse than one hundred p

25、ercent or one hundred percent, he is himself to the emotional state of extreme and negative. The worst is often with people on their own, and to others and to the environment of absolute requirements linked, that in absolute people of must and should be things do not happen as they want, they will f

26、eel unable to accept this reality, it will go to the extreme, think things are bad to the extreme. RET think very bad things do happen, although there are many reasons that we dont want this to happen, but there is no reason to say these things should never happen.We have to accept the reality, try

27、to change the situation; in the impossible, is to learn how to live in this situation.In peoples irrational beliefs, often can be found in the above 3 characteristics. Everyone is more or less thinking and beliefs are not reasonable, and those with serious emotional disturbances, this tendency is pa

28、rticularly obvious irrational thinking. Once the formation of mood disorders, is often difficult to extricate themselves, this time on the need for treatment.Think of rational emotive therapy, people emotional disorders are caused by the irrational beliefs of people, so briefly, this therapy is to h

29、elp the rational treatment of non rational, with a reasonable way of thinking for treatment on behalf of the unreasonable way of thinking, to a reasonable belief on behalf of irrational beliefs, thus minimizing irrational beliefs bring adverse effects to the emotion, through the treatment to change

30、the cognitive, emotional disorders to help the client to reduce or eliminate their existing.The first step treatment, first pointed out to the client, belief in their way of thinking, is not reasonable; help them figure out why will become so, how will the development to the present in this way, the

31、 relationship between clearly irrational beliefs and their emotional distress. This step can be directly or indirectly to the client this paper introduces the basic principle of ABC theory.The second step of treatment, to the client that their emotional distress is not so far, due to the impact of e

32、arly life, but because of irrational beliefs and now they themselves are caused, for this, they should be responsible.The third step is through treatment, and the irrational beliefs debate method based treatment technology, unreasonable help Qiuzhi recognize their beliefs, and then give up these irr

33、ational beliefs help Qiuzhi have some cognitive level change. This is the most important part in the treatment of.The fourth step treatment, not only to help the client understand and give up certain irrational beliefs, irrational beliefs and from changing their common starting, help them learn in a

34、 reasonable way of thinking on behalf of the unreasonable way of thinking, in order to avoid the victim to do irrational beliefs.Once this is done in 4 steps, the irrational beliefs and the resulting emotional problems and obstacles will be eliminated, will Qiuzhi to a more reasonable way of thinkin

35、g on behalf of the unreasonable way of thinking, which is less affected by the irrational beliefs of the troubled.In the whole process of rational emotive therapy, and irrational beliefs of debate has been the main method of treatment to the client. This applies to almost every client, while other m

36、ethods as Qiuzhi and selection.The treatment process of rational emotive therapy, the most commonly used technique is disputing irrational beliefs of the technology; followed by rational emotive imagery. Self management method of corresponding cognitive homework and to promote the Qiuzhi well done h

37、omework and proposed. Some other methods, or not as the main method, and as an auxiliary method, or only in the final stages of treatment such as assertiveness training, social skills training and other aspects of the use of.Ellis pointed out that the rational emotive therapy can tend to adopt vario

38、us methods, as long as the framework of these methods will be applied to rational emotive therapy, which is permitted. But in the course of treatment, should emphasize the change of cognitive control. If the treatment works focus on the change clients emotions and behavior, and little emphasis on co

39、gnitive changes, it should be suspected of such treatment is not a rational emotive therapy.With the irrational beliefs debate technology founded by Ellis. He believes that with the irrational beliefs of debate, the treatment can be used to learn the way to hold Qiuzhi about themselves, others and t

40、he surrounding environment of the irrational beliefs challenged and questioned, and shake their faith.Using this method based on the debate must actively and continuously to the client questions, the irrational beliefs questioned.By the way, can be divided into two kinds of question type and exagger

41、ation:The question type. Irrational faith healers to direct client questions, such as what do you have evidence to prove this view of your own? If anyone else can have failed to record, but you cant have? If anyone else should be the way you want to do that? What do you have reason to ask you like t

42、hings to happen? Please confirm your point of view and so on. Patients generally do not simply give up their faith, face the challenge of the treatment, they will try to defend their beliefs. Therefore, with the help of this differentiation were repeated and the debate process, make each other feel

43、any excuse, to let them know that: first, the unreasonable faith is not realistic, unlogical; second, the faith is not tenable; third, what is the reasonable belief, what is not a reasonable belief; fourth, to a reasonable belief instead of irrational beliefs.The exaggerating type. Unreasonable trea

44、tment for client beliefs deliberately put forward some exaggerated problems. This question is like caricature, the other beliefs illogical and unreality in an exaggerated way to enlarge themselves. For example, a social phobia emotion Qiuzhi said: people are looking at me. Healers asked: whether oth

45、ers do not do their own thing, all around you? The other replied: no. And said: do you want to stick a piece of paper to write on dont look at me ? Answer: that people will come to see me! Ask: that you said everyone to see if you are true? Answer:. Imagine in my mind. In this conversation, and seiz

46、e the irrationality of other questions, can be the first two problems into the exaggerating type problem for a class of. This way of questioning due to each other in the process of their own ideas are not desirable, so as to make him give up his unreasonable idea.How to use and irrational beliefs de

47、bate technology? We must find irrational beliefs, and effectively debate. In the process of rational emotive therapy, only really found each other irrational beliefs, treatment will be targeted, otherwise easy to deep in the outer circles. Beginners using this method often miss the point, the key is

48、 to find the unreasonable belief, feel unable to start the debate. Find the Qiuzhi irrational beliefs, first from the ABC model of:First, in a typical event of infiltration of A events to find out;Second, ask the feeling of the event and the response to A, which is to find out the C;Third, ask why th
