Jack McClendon’s Radio Show with Albert Ellis, Ph.D.

I“Action Jack Extracts the Core of REBT,” is a recording of Dr. Ellis speaking on a radio show with host Jack McClendon, a.k.a., Action Jack. Dr. Ellis begins by explaining how he came up with the core concepts of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). He explains how REBT evolved from a combination of theories of desensitization plus philosophical elements. Specifically, it is not adversities that cause humans to be disturbed, but rather their beliefs about adversities. In this interesting cd, Dr. Ellis discusses the origins, development, and components of REBT.
