REBT believes that people contribute to his or her own psychological problems. According to Cory, the basic assumptions of rational emotive behavior therapy are that cognitions, emotions, and behaviors have a reciprocal cause-and-effect type relationship. Albert Ellis said that the basic framework for REBT is the hypothesis that a persons emotions stem directly from his or her beliefs, which then impact the interpretations made causing the reactions a person has to specific life events (Corey, 2017). The A-B-C framework as described in our textbook is a model that is used primarily to understand a client’s feelings, thoughts, events, and behavior. The A-B-C model is a tool that encompasses five different stages of the process. The existence of an activating event or adversity, or a inference about an event by the individual is the A of the framework (Corey, 2017). The B of the framework is considered to be the individual’s beliefs about the activating event. Thus causing C which is the emotional and behavioral consequences of the individual, this is mainly created by the person’s beliefs (Corey, 2017). After A, B and C then D and E are created to help balance the framework. D basically disputes or challenges the beliefs using three components: detecting, debating and discriminating which are used to dispute the irrational beliefs. Clients are then encouraged to develop an
SFBT has since developed into an effective treatment and continuously advances to meet the needs of clients in therapy. Solution-Focused Therapy has been used in many environments such as, workplace, schools, and other place.

When leading the group therapy, leaders can often encounter various problems or challenges from some members. Some of the issues that might arise within the counseling process include issues of the dominator, the chronic talker, the negative members, the distracter, the resistant members and the member who strives to outsmart the leader (Corey et al., 1995).
The groups consist of therapy, educational and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups. During these groups, we teach skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness skills and positive coping
“How can modern behavioural therapies help a client accept the uncertainty of their future?” In order to evaluate whether modern behavioural therapies can help a client accept the uncertainty of their future, I am going to look in detail at two Modern Behavioural therapies, REBT – Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy and CBT – Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to ascertain their use in therapy with a client.
How does CBT Work? CBT can change and manage how a person reacts to situations. For example, someone who loses their job might consider themselves a failure and become frustrated and hopeless. Therefore, they might avoid going out, looking for a new job and interacting with others. CBT analyzes emotional reactions and cognitive thought patterns and replaces them with optimistic thoughts and accompanying behaviors. For example, CBT would help the

Basic Techniques The therapeutic process in SFBT uses a language of change by linking what the client says and creating conversation that leads to change. Using change language helps the client see self-motivation and positive qualities. (Gehart, 2009). The SFBT therapist will ask specific types of questions to guide the therapy. The first question is usually a simple straight forward "What is the trouble?" if the client is faced with many different problems the therapist will search for the problem perceived to have the highest priority. The therapist will use positive language to paraphrase the problem. (Quick, 2008).

The Third Wave of Behavioral Therapy The third wave of behavioral therapy includes acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. These types of therapies are designed to help people accept difficult life experiences and to persuade individuals to act on their core values. An evolution of cognitive-behavioral therapy, ACT, MBCT, and DBT not only include the thought process within the behavioral network, but mindfulness and acceptance as well. Instead of teaching people to control their thoughts and feelings in the case of CBT, ACT & DBT draws from far eastern philosophies of noticing and accepting the things in life that you cannot change.
