Received Date: Apr 01, 2025 / Published Date: Apr 30, 2025
Abstract
Albert Ellis revolutionized the field of psychotherapy with the development of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), a pioneering cognitive-behavioral approach that emphasizes the role of irrational beliefs in emotional distress. REBT is based on the premise that individuals can cultivate emotional well-being by identifying and altering selfdefeating thought patterns. This article explores the origins, theoretical foundations, key principles, techniques, and impact of REBT on modern psychotherapy. The discussion highlights its applications across various psychological disorders and its enduring relevance in contemporary mental health treatment
