The initial conceptualization of this book was much more narrow
than the final product that has emerged. I started out believing
that it would be enlightening to have a group of acknowledged
rational-emotive therapy (RET) expert practitioners with
well-established literary credentials write about how they approach
the problem of modifying dient irrationality. Many RET
practitioners of all levels of experience are, on the one hand,
enamored of the economy, the precision, and the accuracy of
psychological insight that RET theory offers, but they are, on the
other hand, equally frustrated by their own inability to "persuade"
or otherwise change some of the dients they work with more quickly
or even at all. Indeed, dients themselves frequently express the
view that RET is illuminating, yet they find themselves at the same
time puzzled and perplexed by their inability to make the
substantial changes that RET invites. It became dearer as I
discussed the project with many of the contrib utors that to
practice RET effectively requires more than just innovative and
persistent assessment and intervention techniques. For example, Rus
sell Grieger expressed the view that more prerequisite work needs
to be done on the value and philosophical systems of
dients-induding person al responsibility and the philosophy of
happiness-before many dients can show significant shifts in their
thinking. Susan Walen raised the gener al issues of how effective
RET can be in the treatment of biologically driven affective
disorders."
