REBT + PSYCHOANALYSIS

Psychoanalysis = People have unconscious emotions, thoughts and actions

REBT agrees, but irrational thoughts = just below conscious / not repressed

If people focus then, they can be aware of IBs

People do have “defenses” which they use when they think they have done something bad.

Don’t confront them. Instead give unconditioned acceptance. Then the individual let’s down the
defenses and is willing to change their behavior

REBT doesn’t focus on childhood experiences. But it does explain the source of the problem and the
maintaining behaviors and helps in finding rational alternates.
