| | "Drive Yourself Sane" Foreword by Albert Ellis |
 | | Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), the pioneering form of cognitive-behavior therapy that I originated in 1955 and that has been quite popular since that time, significantly overlaps with general semantics, as I showed in detail in my Alfred Korzybski Memorial Lecture in New York in 1991. |
 | | As Susan and Bruce Kodish point out, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy shows people their dogmatic, either/or, inflexible shoulds, oughts, and musts, and also shows them a number of cognitive, emotive and behavioral methods to reduce their self-defeating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. |
 | | The useful applications and exercises that the authors include at the end of each chapter overlap with many of the homework assignments that REBT practitioners, including Susan herself, work out in collaboration with their clients to minimize their emotional disturbances and their non-self-actualizing behaviors. |
