REBT와 ACT의 상담이론 비교

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the theoretical basis for the causes of human maladaptive behavior and solutions through an integrated review of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Acceptance & Commitment (ACT). . To this end, a literature study was conducted to compare and analyze the definitions, human views, main concepts, counseling processes, and techniques of the two counseling theories to lay a theoretical foundation for the causes of human maladaptation and countermeasures. As a result of the study, it was discovered that REBT and ACT have a common view that the combination of language and cognitive structure causes maladaptive emotions and behaviors. As a solution to maladaptive emotions and behaviors formed by distorted cognition, REBT focuses on cognitive restructuring, while ACT also proposes cognitive defusion and acceptance of experience. However, ultimately, both theories urge us to break away from maladaptive emotions resulting from distorted cognition and live our lives toward values with an attitude of unconditional acceptance of ourselves, others, and the world. This study is significant in that it is a comparative study between REBT and ACT, which has been rarely studied, but has a limitation in that it has a rather comprehensive topic. By overcoming these limitations and compromising and integrating the theories of REBT and ACT, which have a common goal of accepting life, we propose a more effective treatment plan that can improve maladaptive human behavior and follow-up research to verify effectiveness.
