Which therapy involves assessing irrational beliefs through questionnaires and interviews? |

Rational Emotive Therapy (RET). |
In RET, through questionnaires and interviews, the therapist assesses the irrational beliefs of the individual. In RET, the therapist gently challenges these beliefs through non-directive questioning, encouraging the client to explore their assumptions about life and problems. As the client reflects deeper, they gradually modify their irrational beliefs and adopt a more rational belief system, leading to a reduction in psychological distress. |
