Abstract

Asked normal Ss (N = 120) as well as patients (N = 150) diagnosed as manic, major depressive disorder and schizophrenic to give their opinions with regard to Ellis' 11 irrational beliefs. The schizophrenia group and major depressive group were noted to endorse at least 3 and 4 of the irrational beliefs, respectively, a striking contrast to both the normal and manic groups, who did not endorse any of these ideas. Thus, the data with regard to two of the three psychotic groups are consistent with rational-emotive theory.
