Since its launching in 1955, rational-emotive therapy (RET) has
become one of the most influential forms of counseling and
psychotherapy used by literally thousands of mental health
practitioners throughout the world. From its beginnings, RET has
dealt with problems of human disturbance. It presents a theory of
how people primarily disturb themselves and what they can do,
particularly with the help of a therapist or counselor, to reduce
their disturbances (Ellis, 1957a, b, 1958a, b, 1962). Almost im
mediately after the creation of RET, it became obvious that the
meth odology could be used in many other fields-especially those
involving human relations (Ellis & Harper, 1961a), and in love,
sex, and marital relationships (Ellis, 1958a, 1960, 1963a, b; Ellis
& Harper, 1961b). The evident popularity and clinical utility
of RET in different cultures and its increasing application to
contemporary problems of living indicate that rational-emotive
therapy continues to be vital and dynamic. The growing appeal of
RET may be due in part to its essentially optimistic outlook and
humanistic orientation; optimistic because it pro vides people with
the possibility and the means for change. Showing to people how
their attitudes and beliefs are responsible for their emo tional
distress and interpersonal problems (and not some out-of-con scious
early childhood experience), awakens in them the hope that, in
reality, they have some control over their destiny."
