Website review: ABC Counselling
Dr Jim Byrne, who was originally very influenced by the thinking and theories of Dr Albert Ellis, sets out to explore the childhood of Albert Ellis, to see how this skewed the development of Ellis’s notion of rationality, and his resistance to the idea of human emotional needs . . .” |
When Albert Ellis died, Jim began to develop serious doubts about certain aspects of REBT theory and philosophy. Jim’s website is not limited to this subject although it is probably the most controversial and provocative content. Beyond that, however, Jim has clearly done a monumental job of assembling and offering REBT-CBT resources, including face-to-face, e-mail and telephone counseling. He has developed his own “school” of CBT which he calls CENT Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy which you can read about on his website. I have not studied it in depth, but CENT seems to place much more emphasis on developmental psychology and the important, formative nature of early childhood experiences; something that REBT-CBT is typically not particularly interested in. You can even earn a diploma in CENT and become a charter member of the Institute for Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CM-I-CENT)
Here is the menu on the home page of the website. It just goes on-an-on. Would appreciate anyone who has the time and the inclination to spend some time there and add to this “review.”
