Abstract

Because of the personal religious and philosophical beliefs of Albert Ellis, Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) is often perceived as inappropriate for clients with strong religious beliefs. Three of the major irrational thought processes hypothesized by RET to be at the core of psychopathology are shown to also be inconsistent with Judeo-Christian philosophy. Therefore, it is postulated that disputing irrational beliefs and establishing more rational philosophies is also consistent with Judeo-Christian philosophy. Specific clinical strategies are suggested for working with religious clients in changing these three irrational beliefs.
