[Russian] - РЭПТ: рационально-эмотивная поведенческая терапия. Полный курс от Альберта Эллиса

"Классическое руководство по применению рационально-эмотивной поведенческой терапии (РЭПТ) с разбором техник и примеров, а также философских оснований метода. Людей расстраивают не сами вещи, а то, как они их воспринимают. РЭПТ учит не убирать эмоции или симптомы, а работать с их причиной — нашими убеждениями. Именно жесткие требования к себе и миру часто лежат в основе психологических проблем. Альберт Эллис, создатель метода и один из самых влиятельных психотерапевтов ХХ века, и его коллега Кэтрин Макларен написали полное руководство — от истоков метода до пошаговой работы с клиентами. Эллис предложил ABC‑модель, согласно которой эмоциональные реакции зависят не от события, а от убеждений о нем, что легло в основу последующего развития когнитивно‑поведенческой терапии (КПТ). В книге вы найдете: полный разбор модели АВС для диагностики проблем; схемы для поиска и оценки иррациональных убеждений; когнитивные, эмоциональные и поведенческие упражнения; примеры диалогов и техники оспаривания убеждений. Цель РЭПТ — помочь людям изменить нерациональные убеждения, которые приводят к эмоциональным и поведенческим расстройствам. Вы сможете использовать РЭПТ как самостоятельный метод или сочетать его с другими подходами, помогая клиентам мыслить реалистично и действовать эффективно даже в сложных ситуациях. Для кого эта книга Для практикующих психологов и психотерапевтов. Для студентов и начинающих специалистов, которые ищут понятный и полный источник по РЭПТ. Для всех, кто интересуется классикой доказательной психотерапии и хочет понять, как устроены механизмы эмоций."

The Myth of SelfEsteem: How Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Can Change Your Life Forever

"In this illuminating book, Dr. Albert Ellis provides a lively and insightful explanation of the differences between self-esteem (which may be considered a sickness!) and self-acceptance. He describes emphatically the importance and benefits of developing and maintaining unconditional acceptance of ourselves, of others, and of life itself when things don’t go the ways we think they “should” go! He further examines this theme as can be read in the writings of great religious teachers, philosophers, and psychologists, and provides easy self-help exercises we can practice that enable us to change self-defeating irrational thinking - which creates unhealthy emotions, to healthy, rational and positive ways of thinking - which create unconditional acceptance and life-enhancing emotions. These include specific cognitive techniques as well as emotive and behavioral exercises. He concludes by reminding us that by choosing to create and maintain unconditional self and other acceptance we are powerfully contributing to our abilities to establish healthy relationships, along with creating a holistic and compassionate way of life and living that is anchored in unconditional life-acceptance. This audiobook is skillfully read by Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis, a licensed psychologist, mental health counselor, adjunct professor at Columbia University, published author, and renowned global presenter on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and related topics. She worked with her husband, the brilliant pioneering and remarkable psychologist Albert Ellis PhD, the creator of REBT which heralded in the cognitive revolution in psychotherapy, giving public presentations and professional trainings on REBT, as well as collaborating on writing and research projects, until his death in 2007. She assisted her husband in the writing of this book, and did much of the research for it. With joy and enthusiasm she continues to present, practice and write about the groundbreaking approach of REBT along with striving to walk the talk! Audio engineering by Transient Audio.

A Guide to Rational Living

"'A Guide to Rational Living' by Albert Ellis and Robert A. Harper is a seminal work in the field of cognitive therapy, offering readers a comprehensive roadmap to navigating the complexities of the human mind and overcoming psychological distress. Grounded in the principles of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), the book presents a holistic approach to mental health that emphasizes the pivotal role of our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes in shaping our emotions and behaviors. Through a blend of insightful theory, practical exercises, and illustrative case studies, Ellis and Harper guide readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. At the heart of 'A Guide to Rational Living' lies the notion that many of our emotional struggles stem from irrational beliefs and distorted thinking patterns. Ellis and Harper illuminate how these irrational beliefs, such as demandingness, catastrophizing, and low frustration tolerance, can perpetuate cycles of anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. However, rather than merely dissecting the problem, the authors equip readers with a diverse array of cognitive and behavioral techniques designed to challenge and reframe these irrational beliefs. From cognitive restructuring and disputing irrational thoughts to behavior modification and assertiveness training, the book offers a robust toolkit for cultivating greater emotional resilience and psychological well-being. What sets 'A Guide to Rational Living' apart is its pragmatic approach to therapy, rooted in the philosophy of self-help and personal responsibility. Ellis and Harper empower readers to become active agents in their own healing process, encouraging them to take ownership of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through a process of self-examination and experimentation, individuals are encouraged to identify their core irrational beliefs, challenge their validity, and replace them with more adaptive and rational alternatives. Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of practice, perseverance, and patience in mastering these cognitive and behavioral techniques, recognizing that change is often gradual and incremental. Beyond its practical utility as a therapeutic guidebook, 'A Guide to Rational Living' serves as a timeless manifesto for living a more authentic, fulfilling life. By fostering a mindset grounded in rationality, flexibility, and self-compassion, Ellis and Harper invite readers to break free from the shackles of their past conditioning and societal expectations, embracing their inherent capacity for growth and transformation. Whether grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or existential dilemmas, readers will find solace, inspiration, and practical guidance within the pages of this enduring classic. 'A Guide to Rational Living' stands as a testament to the power of reason and resilience in overcoming life's challenges and realizing our full potential as human beings."
