Clients with mental disorders who form inferences from rational beliefs are:
1. Better supported by family members.
2. Significantly more functional than clients who hold irrational beliefs.
3. Able to control impulses.
4. On their way to feeling "normal."

Rationale: Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) identifies and corrects irrational beliefs. Rational and irrational beliefs, defined by REBT, form the basis of inferences (conclusions based on reasoning) derived to explain life experiences. Those inferences can be more or less functional, depending on the beliefs behind them. People who hold rational beliefs form inferences that are significantly more functional than those formed by people who hold irrational beliefs. The capacity to form inferences from rational beliefs has not been shown to influence family support, impulse control, or clients' feelings of normalcy.
