The illusion and reality of disputation in the theory of REBT

In the schematic counseling process called ABCDE of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, I examined the illusion of dispute correseponding to D and presented about reality of dispute. It pointed out errors that occurred in the process of translating the original language expressed as Dispute in English into Korean, which means 'dispute'. In particular, I pointed out the narrowness of disputing the illogicality of irrational thinking because of the symbolism of the word that permeates the term, and explained the importance of disputing by focusing on the unrealistic and impractical aspects of irrational thinking. Furthermore, the dispute emphasized that, more importantly, it was a high-level dispute to induce the self-discovery that his ideas were irrational by using representative questioning techniques such as Socrates's method of dialogue. The dispute also emphasizes that not only cognitive techniques are utilized, but also that emotional and behavioral techniques can be used in a variety of ways as needed, as shown in the name of REBT counseling theory. Even if REBT counseling is integrated, not all techniques that exist in the world can be used, but we also looked at techniques that should be avoided and prohibited in dispute for best results.
