Abstract:
(Show)
Several types of cognitive therapy in use in modern clinical psychology draw their inspiration from the Buddhist tradition. Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), created by cognitive therapy pioneer Albert Ellis, shares a common sensibility and emphasis on empiricism found in both the teachings of Zen and early Buddhism. This article traces the parallels between REBT and the teachings of the Buddhist tradition. (Zach Rowinski 2005-03-10)
