Abstract

[In 2010, I undertook a study of a random sample of 20 counseling and psychotherapy textbooks to identify the most common errors and confusions made by the authors of these textbooks regarding the ABCs of REBT. I found a total of 240 errors and confusions, the majority arising from incorrect beliefs at B, particularly about irrational beliefs. A variety of errors and confusions were also made about (1) the relationship between B and C (including whether or not such a relationship is causal), (2) the relationship between irrational beliefs and disturbed responses at C, (3) A, and (4) emotional Cs. Twenty errors were even made about the name of the therapy!]
