Abstract
A new method for integrating secular psychotherapies into Christian practice, “the virtues approach,” is presented, which promises more fine-grained assessment of continuities and discontinuities between Christian theory and practice and secular theory and practice, and more hope of a richly and distinctively Christian psychotherapy. Albert Ellis’ therapy is examined as a test case. Three Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) virtues–-equanimity, self-acceptance, and a sense of humor–-are compared grammatically (structurally) with their Christian counterparts, and suggestions are made about consequences for Christian RET.
