Rational-Emotive Therapy- used by Albert Ellis. Gosl is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones. Encourages a person to identify irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.
Beck’s Cognitive Therapy- similar to Ellis’s, most widely used in cases of depression. Help to recognize the negative thoughts and errors in logic that cause them to be depressed. Guides them to try out new interpretations, and ultimately apply alternative ways of thinking in their daily lives.
Stress inoculation training- prepare in advance
According to Ellis, these are other common irrational assumptions:
• The idea that one should be thoroughly competent at everything.
• The idea that is it catastrophic when things are not the way you want them to be.
• The idea that people have no control over their happiness.
• The idea that you need someone stronger than yourself to be dependent on.

• The idea that there is a perfect solution to human problems, and it’s a disaster if you don’t find it.

7. Hi. My name is Julie. My parents have sent me to see you because of some problems I've been having lately. I guess the school called because of the number of classes I've missed. There's a possibility I won't graduate this year if this continues, but I just don't like going to school anymore and don’t really care. I'm just so tired all the time. My teachers stay stupid things like 'guess you woke up on the wrong side of the bed' or 'stay out last night too late?'. They just don't realize that I'm always tired and wish I could get up enough energy to actually go to parties.
My parents are amazing. They help out a lot by doing my chores when I'm wiped out and bringing me dinner in my room when I don't make it down for supper. They must feel like they got cheated when it comes to kids ... though at least my sister is a success. She does everything perfectly.
So, Doctor, do you think you can help me or am I a lost cause?
Your task as a group is to :
diagnose the problem
identify the cause (from your assigned perspective)
decide on a treatment plan (from your assigned perspective)
