This book contains a summarized account of the author's journey through Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) - from beginning to end. He began, in 1992, as a fanatical supporter of REBT, which is the original form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).Then, while trying to rescue REBT from two critics (Bond and Dryden, 1996), in the period 2001-2003, he accidentally uncovered several flaws in the foundations of this theory of therapy. Next, he wrote a series of papers, exploring some of the weaknesses of REBT - all the time hoping he would be able to salvage a defensible core of the therapy. But eventually, this led him to the development of a completely new theory of therapy, which rejects virtually all of the major theoretical and practical elements of REBT - apart from those moderate Stoical and moderate Buddhist influences that went into the origin of Dr Albert Ellis's theory. The intellectual journey described in this book took twenty-five years to complete. And the twists and turns along the way were no less dramatic than the surprising destination.~~~.
