Abstract
In this series of research studies, I have looked at how the following groups have conceptualized the ABCs of REBT: (a) clients, (b) authors of counseling and psychotherapy textbooks, (c) REBT therapists, and (d) the founder of REBT and his wife whom he appointed as the guardian of his views. I found that each of these groups made a variety of errors and were confused about a number of aspects in the ABC framework. I have listed and discussed these errors and confusions in Chaps. 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this book.

Other approaches to CBT have their own version of the ABC framework which is different to that outlined in REBT.
