Abstract

In this study, I analysed Albert Ellis’s posthumous contribution to the APA “Theories of Psychotherapy” series (Ellis and Joffe Ellis 2011) for evidence of errors and confusions with respect to the “ABCs” of REBT. A total of 74 of such errors/confusions were found with most being made about beliefs at “B” (n = 59), particularly about irrational beliefs (n = 38). A variety of errors and confusions were also made about the relationship between “B” and “C” and about emotional “Cs”. Weaknesses of the current study were noted and suggestions for future research made.

At the time of writing 24 volumes are planned to appear in this book series.

See the first two articles in this series of articles for information concerning how I distinguish between such errors and confusions.

I now call low frustration tolerance beliefs discomfort intolerance beliefs.

“Push my ass”.

In this section I will discuss this issue with respect to partial and full self-acceptance beliefs. The same points are relevant to partial and full other-acceptance and life-acceptance beliefs.

In this citation, Ellis and Joffe Ellis (2011) imply that a person’s wants and wishes have a life of their own and can escalate—or more accurately transform—themselves into needs or necessities. In reality, humans transform their wishes into needs; their wishes cannot transform themselves into anything.
