“…For example, although George Kelly denied being a cognitivist, his The Psychology of Personal Constructs (1955) was to become an inspiration to many cognitive therapists. Likewise, Albert Ellis's (1962, 1992) rational-emotive therapy preceded the major developments in cognitive psychology, and Aaron T. Beck's (1963, 1991) cognitive therapy was already apparent in his early work on depression. Thus, clinical applications of a cognitive perspective generally predated the formal theory and research associated with cognitive psychology.…”

The cognitive psychotherapies have developed and substantially differentiated since their inception in the 1950s. Six major themes in their theoretical development are discussed: (a) the differentiation of rationalist and constructivist therapies and metatheories of knowing; (b) the acknowledgement of social, biological, and embodiment processes in therapy; (c) the recognition of unconscious processes; (d) an increasing focus on self-organizing and self-protective processes in life span personality development, with such processes being embedded in interpersonal and social system dynamics; (e) a shift toward different views of emotionality and the incorporation of experiential techniques; and (f) a synergistic involvement in the psychotherapy integration movement. The cognitive psychotherapies reflect remarkable activity, a point illustrated and elaborated in the articles that constitute this special section.

“…Albert Ellis had described a clear and parsimonious model of emotional disturbance and its treatment, and he promoted the scientific evaluation of his approach with his own pioneering example (Ellis, 1957). Rational therapy was, among other things, an empiricist's rejoinder to the less testable formulations of psychoanalytic theory (Ellis, 1992). It might well have seemed likely that a data-based verdict on the effectiveness of RT and its explanations of psychological distress would soon be forthcoming.…”

Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) has achieved positive results in quantitative reviews of treatment outcome studies. In part because of methodological limitations of these studies, however, the generalizability of their favorable results to routine clinical practice is unknown. Also unknown are the clinical significance of outcomes achieved by REBT, the contribution made by its distinctive and specialized procedures, and the types of patients for whom REBT is particularly useful. Recommendations are provided for refining our knowledge of the effectiveness of REBT.Forty years ago, rational therapy (RT) appeared particularly wellsuited to the challenges of treatment outcome research. Albert Ellis had described a clear and parsimonious model of emotional disturbance and its treatment, and he promoted the scientific evaluation of his approach with his own pioneering example (Ellis, 1957). Rational therapy was, among other things, an empiricist's rejoinder to the less testable formulations of psychoanalytic theory (Ellis, 1992). It might well have seemed likely that a data-based verdict on the effectiveness of RT and its explanations of psychological distress would soon be forthcoming.However, twenty years after Ellis' inaugural effort at treatment validation, several distinguished psychotherapy scholars reviewed the
