Course content:

Lecture 1: Introduction to Rational Emotive & Cognitive Behaviour

Therapy (RE&CBT). This is an introduction to Albert Ellis’ theory of
emotional disturbance, including its origins and the ABC framework
(Activating event-Beliefs-emotional and behavioural Consequences).
Core irrational beliefs (demandingness, frustration intolerance,
awfulizing, global rating of self and others) and the consequential
unhealthy negative emotions (anxiety, anger, depression, guilt, shame,
hurt) and maladaptive behaviours (procrastination, abuse of substances,
verbally and physically lashing out at others, etc.) will be addressed. The
distinction between healthy and unhealthy negative emotions, as well as
rational versus irrational beliefs will be highlighted. Disputation of
irrational beliefs, the core of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy will be
taught. A live demonstration with a participant will take place, showing
in vivo the application of RE&CBT to a real problem. The focus of this
lecture is teaching participants that in the face of uncontrollable adversity,
they have control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This
lecture will look into irrational beliefs therapists may hold that lead to
burnout and turnover.

Lecture 2: Clinical Interventions and Strategies- This lecture will cover

the clinical implications of Ellis’ distinction between disturbed and non
disturbed emotions; how one goes about assessing irrational beliefs; the
distinction between practical versus emotional problems and solutions;
why RE&CBT proposes addressing emotional problems before practical
problems; and the prerequisite insights necessary before disputing client
irrational beliefs. There will be a focus on the B (belief) C (emotional and
behavioral consequences) connection. This ultimately asks clients to
assume responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, thereby
giving them control to change them. The distinction between Beck’s
challenging of the inferences, versus Ellis’ elegant solution of
challenging the evaluations clients make from their inferences is
highlighted. RE&CBT’s active-directive hypothesis-driven approach to
assessment will be taught. Strategies to get to clients’ irrational beliefs,
including Inductive awareness, Inductive interpretation, and Inference
Chaining will be taught. A focus on inference chaining will occur, as this
is the heart of RE&CBT’s approach to eliciting client irrational beliefs.
Finally, challenging/disputing strategies will be taught to participants to
replace client irrational beliefs with rational alternative beliefs. The use of
various cognitive, emotive, and behavioural homework assignments.

Lecture 3: RE&CBT’s Conceptualization of Emotions- This lecture

discusses the binary model of distress as it relates to emotions. A review
of the inference themes of the dysfunctional negative emotions
(depression, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, hurt) and the functional
negative emotions (sadness, concern, annoyance, disappointment, regret)
as well as the respected behavioural / action tendencies will be addressed.

Lecture 4: Learning from Errors in RE&CBT- Beginning therapists

practicing RE&CBT make a variety of errors, including not being active
and directive, not setting an agenda, not recognizing when the target
emotion has changed during a session, allowing clients to spend too much
time talking about their past, etc. This lecture reviews the common errors
therapists make as well as strategies to correct them.

Supervision 1: Practicing RE&CBT in Peer Counseling- Participants will

be assigned to small groups of no more than eight. An REBT certified
supervisor will meet with the group, with participants practicing REBT
with each other in dyads. Participants will be asked to bring up real
problems (at their discretion) and each will have an opportunity to be a
therapist and then a client. Participants will receive in vivo supervision of
their demonstrated skills.

Supervision 2 / 3/ 4: please see above description.

ELIGIBILITY
Open to psychologists, counselors, social workers, physicians, nurses,
and graduate students. Minimum qualification for certificate candidacy is

to participate in the full Practicum but will receive a Paraprofessional

satisfactory reviews by supervisors from the peer counseling sessions will
result in the Primary certificate.

Course description
Number of Didactic hours: 14

The Advanced Certificate is the second level of training in Rational

Emotive & Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. During these intense four days,
participants learn strategies to achieve cognitive change through a variety
of styles of restructuring irrational beliefs. Having developed a strong
foundation in the premise of RE&CBT in the Primary Certificate
Program, the applications of the theory to various clinical problems,
including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, anger, and ADHD are
addressed. Participants will learn the various irrational beliefs and special
considerations when working with each of these clinical problems, as
well as various homework assignments to negotiate with clients. A
lecture is devoted to teaching clients the concepts of Unconditional Self,
Other, and Life Acceptance to address emotional and behavioural
disturbance. Finally, as many clients in therapy bring up problems related
to relationships, whether it is romantic, interpersonal, family, or work-
related, participants will learn interventions to address the dysfunctional
emotions and self-defeating relationship belief systems evidenced in
clients. Participants will receive twelve hours of small group peer
counseling practicing their skills using real problems with a certified
RE&CBT supervisor who provides in vivo supervision.
