Ellis (see Ellis & Dryden, 2007) developed rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) in the mid 1950s as an alternative to traditional psychoanalysis. Discuss the ABC model that Ellis proposed
What will be an ideal response?
He proposed an ABC model whereby "A," an activating event such as receiving a poor exam grade, is interpreted through "B," one's beliefs, leading to emotional and behavioral consequences, "C.". If "B" is irrational, then a student who receives a poor exam grade is likely to have an exaggerated emotional response to "A" such as depression, shame, anger, or anxiety that is out of proportion to the event. In other words, the student will catastrophize and see the event as having catastrophic meaning.
