   Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), was developed by Dr.Albert Ellis in 1955. It has since flourished and spawned a variety of other cognitive-behavior therapies. REBT's effectiveness, short-term nature, and low cost are major reasons for its popularity.

   REBT's comprehensive approach works best for individuals desiring a scientific, present-focused, and active treatment for coping with life's difficulties, rather than one which is mystical, historical, and largely passive.

   REBT is based on a few simple principles having profound implications:

   1. You are responsible for your own emotions and actions,
   2. Your harmful emotions and dysfunctional behaviors are the product of your irrational thinking,
   3. You can learn more realistic views and, with practice, make them a part of you,
   4. You'll experience a deeper acceptance of yourself and greater satisfactions in life by developing
       a reality-based perspective.
