    About this ebook

    Rational Emotive Behavior therapy (REBT) is a unified theory of psychotherapy, focusing on the examination of attitudes and beliefs as the basis for enhancing competence in Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Social Problem Solving (Emotional Intelligence). The therapist’s dexterity at implementing the level of assimilative integration required for the client’s effective use of REBT, however, may result in therapeutic weaknesses.

    This study investigated the use of Think Aloud (TA) as a way addressing the perceived weaknesses in the REBT model’s transferability from the clinical to real world experiences.

    Thirty-five participants, ranging in age from 18-66, participated in the study. Twenty-two (68.8%) were Female and 10 (31.3%) were Male. Three individuals declined to provide demographic information. Twenty-eight European Americans (87.5%) and four African Americans (12.5%) participated.

    Results showed an improvement in the training group's EI and Emotional Intelligence at Post-test (M = 108.29, SD = 12.25) compared to Pre-test (M = 100.29, SD = 13.97). An ANOVA failed to reveal a significant between-subjects main effect by Group, F (1, 33) = 0.00, p > .05 (partial η2 = .00, power = .05).

    These data suggest there was no overall difference between the training and control groups on EI or Emotional Intelligence. There was an overall main effect by Time. This increase was significant only for the Training group. Improvement did not differ by Age or Sex on Post-test scores.

    An assumption could be drawn that a continual increase in EI and Social Problem Solving scores may have been realized, if the study had continued for a longer period of Time.

    DEDICATION

    During the development of this research, Albert Ellis died. Ellis’ life’s work opened for me a new way of thinking about myself and the world around me, teaching me the true meaning of forgiveness and understanding, preparing me to confront adversity more rationally and not to settle for emotional mediocrity. Ellis taught me that I always have a right to ask for what I want. I just don’t have a right to get it - a little-understood concept for me, prior to learning Ellis’ model of emotional healthcare.

    Behind Ellis’ well-known grouchy demeanor, there was a tender, although quite rational, human being. That side of him was confirmed one year when I volunteered to help him demonstrate the use of REBT before a crowd of people. After revealing the wonders of REBT, he asked if I understood what he was explaining. I will never forget his 90-year-old eyes, rimmed in red wariness, pleading in a voice contradictory to the tone of his raspy voice, Please understand me. Please tell me you know what I am trying to teach you. His main ambition in life, I realized on that day, was to give people something they could actually use to manage their emotional well-being. For me and millions of others, I know he succeeded in that goal.

    Chapter 1

    Anyone can be angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way this is not easy. Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics (350 BC)

    Introduction

    It is believed that emotional problem-solving is an attention-demanding task. Relying only on inner thought for resolving emotional problems may result in less-than-optimal outcomes. It is suggested that articulated thought may help improve patient emotional and physical health outcomes. For the purposes of the current study, Think Aloud (TA) is highlighted. TA is defined for the purposes of this study as the spoken word, to speak out loud; the act of expressing in external, spoken form, one’s thoughts.

    Thought alone may encourage mind-wandering, drawing attention away from the task of emotional problem-solving and toward performing mental tasks unrelated to problem-solving. It is suggested that speaking aloud may provide an individual with a method for staying focused, resolute and determined to complete the act of emotional problem-solving, without interruption, thereby delivering more optimal, self-improving outcomes. Using thought to bring wholesome effects may contribute to improved emotional intelligence.

    Emotional Intelligence (EI) is defined for the purposes of this study as the cognitive skill each of us possesses for meeting the obstacles that block the path between our present situation and
