Outcome Studies of Rational-Emotive Therapy

چکیده
This chapter provides a qualitative review of treatment outcome studies of rational-emotive therapy (RET; Ellis, 1962) and a variant of RET, systematic rational restructuring (SRR; Goldfried, Decenteceo, & Weinberg, 1974). We have organized studies according to the type of problem or disorder being treated. This should maximize the utility of the information for clinical decision-making. Confronted with a client of Type X, what can existing data say about the likely utility of a rational-emotive treatment? Although communication might be best served by fitting problems into DSM-III (American Psychiatric Association, 1980) categories (Kazdin, 1986b), many outcome studies of RET and SRR resist such classification, either because the subjects were subclinical or because the target problem is not a DSM-III category.
