The Use of Cognitive, Emotive and Behavioral Interventions in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy When Clients Lack “Emotional” Insight

Abstract

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy practitioners from around the world reported their use of cognitive, emotive, behavioral, or other interventions, both in sessions and as homework when responding to clients who reported “intellectual” insight but were not moved by it. Practitioners were exceptionally prone to using cognitive interventions during sessions and not particularly inclined toward emotive interventions either during sessions or as homework.
