Better, Deeper and More Enduring Brief Therapy

"As the founder and leader in the development of brief therapy, Albert Ellis continues to make major contributions to the literature. Ellis's clear, cogent, clinically sensible, and valuable model provides a template for quality clinical practice. From his early approach, RT (Rational Therapy), to his newly revised model of REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Ellis demonstrates that 40 years later, he is still in the forefront of brief psychotherapy. This volume offers the skilled psychotherapist a focused and straightfoward treatment model and the strategies and tools for effectively making brief therapy and enduring reality." -- Arthur Freeman, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
