Abstract

The theory of REBT was developed by Ellis (1962, 1994), being seen by many in the field as the first form of CBT (e.g., Hollon & DiGiuseppe, 2010) and as a major contributor to the cognitive revolution in psychology and psychotherapy (David, 2015). First labeled Rational Therapy, it was renamed Rational Emotive Therapy before receiving the current name: Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (David, 2015). In a personal communication to one of the chapter’s authors (Dr. David), Albert Ellis (2005) would have liked to finally name it Cognitive Affective Behavior Therapy.
