About the author

Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, is the largest university press in the world. The university became involved in printing around 1480, becoming a major source of Bibles, prayer books and scholarly works. It took on the Oxford English Dictionary project in the late 19th century, and in order to meet the ever-rising costs of the work, it expanded into publishing children's books, school text books, music, journals, and the World's Classics series. OUP is committed to major financial support of the university and to furthering the university's excellence in scholarship, research and education through its publishing.

Reviews

[Evil Secret Ninja · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great basic book on Rational Emotive Therapy it has some great ideas that I can utilize and use right a way with clients. The therapy is very structured which I don't like because working with people requires figuring out what works for each person. There was not much on what to do about resistant clients especially those that are required to do treatment. The boxes were also placed in inconvenient places sometimes in the middle of paragraphs. Over all I found it very helpful and I will certainly use in in my therapy just had a few problems. The structure problem is a big one though at least for me.
