Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy: A Curated Literature Overview

This book presents a curated literature overview of research work conducted on the applicability of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in various therapeutic settings. With the help of a novel human-machine interaction service provided by Springer Nature, the volume editors were able to collate AI-generated auto-summaries of previously published papers on this topic.

The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the editors of this book. The editors of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are abstractive auto-summaries, which consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Please note that only published SN content is represented here, and that curated books are still at an experimental stage.

For researchers of psychology and therapeutic practitioners, this book aims to present a single reference point for all their research and therapeutic needs. For the layperson with an interest and inclination towards the subject, this book will provide a trustworthy resource to gain a deeper and authoritative understanding of the process and applicability of REBT.

However, it is important to note that this book does not claim to be a manual on the application of REBT and that professional guidance is crucial for the effective utilization of the various REBT tools and resources mentioned in the book.

It is also important to note that each and every person has unique psychological needs. Therefore, while REBT is a widely used therapeutic system and has proven to be useful in a wide range of therapeutic settings, its applicability is dependent on various factors.
