Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.
Utilizing clips from the feature films "Ali" and "Magnolia," Dr. Tobin emphasizes the importance of regret in adult development. When pursued in psychotherapy, regrets a patient experiences serve as a bridge into vital aspects of emotional development, mourning, and self-integration. Further, Dr. Tobin introduces the notions of "otherness" and "non-meaning" and characterizes their relevance for personal and existential experience.
A clinical psychologist with over four decades of experience, Donald “Don” Crowe, PhD, operates a private practice in Orinda, California. Throughout his career, Don Crowe, PhD, has assisted individuals, families, and couples using a variety therapeutic approaches, including the Gottman Method.
This therapy was developed by Albert Ellis. It focuses on an individual's beliefs, whether rational or irrational, the emotions that they have due to these beliefs and the behaviour that they show based on both the beliefs and emotions.

Intergenerational and Psychoanalytic Family Therapies
Lay of the Land
Although distinct from each other, Bowenian intergenerational therapy and psychoanalytic family therapy share the common roots of (a) psychoanalytic theory and (b) systemic theory. A psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist, Bowen (1985) developed a highly influential and unique approach to therapy that is called Bowen intergenerational therapy. Drawing heavily from object relations theory, psychoanalytic or psychodynamic family therapies have developed several unique approaches, including object relations family therapy (Scharff & Scharff, 1987), family-of-origin therapy (Framo, 1992), and contextual therapy (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1986). These therapies share several key concepts and practices:
• Examining a client’s early relationships to understand present functioning
• Tracing transgenerational and extended family dynamics to understand a client’s complaints
• Promoting insight into extended family dynamics to facilitate change
• Identifying and altering destructive beliefs and patterns of behavior that were learned early in life in one’s family of origin
Bowen Intergenerational Therapy
In a Nutshell: The Least You Need to Know
Bowen intergenerational theory is more about the nature of being human than it is about families or family therapy (Friedman, 1991). The Bowen approach requires therapists to work from a broad perspective that considers the evolution of the human species and the characteristics of all living systems. Therapists use this broad perspective to conceptualize client problems and then rely primarily on the therapist’s use of self to effect change. As part of this broad perspective, therapists routinely consider the three-.

Adier's Need to Belong as the Key for Mental Health
Rachel Shifron
Abstract
According to Adier's (1932) Individual Psychology the inability to belong or to
connect with others results in pathology. In this essay the author presents several
case studies that highlight the need to belong as a primary issue in therapy. The case
descriptions include therapy with an individual, a couple, a client with addiction
issues, a cross-cultural couple, and a mother and daughter-in-law. The case materi-
als presented in this article reveal that individuals with psychological disorders can
lessen their psychopathology by learning more effective methods to promote belong-
ing. Adlerian methods and interventions to promote belonging are discussed.
In Adier's (1932, 1991) Individual Psychology every child is born with
the need to belong and with the ability to connect with others. Acquiring
the methods of connecting involves a learning process. This kind of learning
is the key for well-being. It is essential that one belongs and is connected
to three significant groups in one's circle of life. I expand Adier's descrip-
tion of the life tasks (Dreikurs, 1950) to refer to these significant groups as
being family, friends, and work associates. Feeling a sense of belonging to
these groups is the primary universal issue of mental health. Individuals with
psychological disorders can lessen their psychopathology by learning more
effective methods to belong.
This article reflects my many years of counseling and therapy from an
Individual Psychology perspective (Shifron, 2006, 2008). My clinical experi-
ences have shown me the universality of the need to belong, and I believe
this paper offers an exceptional opportunity for clinicians from different
theoretical approaches to learn more about Adier's optimistic and brilliant
perspective. Adier's Individual Psychology is based on the conceptualization
that psychopathology results from the lack of feeling belonging. This is an
optimistic view, because the absence of feeling belonging is a curable situ-
ation. According to Adier's theory (Ferguson, 2006), every individual makes
choices. In this paper I focus on the belief that every individual is capable
and creative and that by making different kinds of choices, each person can
learn how to feel belongi ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4.
5. 1930 to 1963
1929 to 1932 - Three marital clinics opened; they were
service and education oriented, and saw mostly
individuals
The closest thing to theory was what was borrowed
from psychoanalytic - interlocking neurosis
1931 the first marital therapy paper was published
Theory was marginalized due to a lack of brilliant
theorists, and a lack of distinction from individual
analysis
6. 1931 to 1966
Mostly individual sessions, but some conjoint; still
treated like seeing two individual clients in the
same room though
Some started to downplay the role of the therapist
Family was outshining couples work, and the
couple techniques weren't innovative or
particularly effective
7. 1963 to 1985
Family therapy overpowers couples, even though
a number of big name people really mostly saw
couples
Jackson- Coined concepts like quid pro quo,
homeostasis, and double bind for conjoint therapy
Satir - Coined naming roles members played,
fostered self-esteem and actualization, and saw
the therapist as a nurturing teacher
8. Bowen - Multigenerational theory approach, with
differentiation, triangulation, and projection processes,
with the therapist as an anxiety-lowering coach -
societal projection process was the forerunner of our
modern awareness of cultural differences
Haley - Power and control (or love and connection)
were key. Avoided insight, emotional catharsis,
conscious power plays. Saw system as more, and
more important, than the sum of the parts
9. 1986 to present
New Theories were tried and refined, like Behavioral
Marital Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and
Insight-Oriented Marital Therapy.
Couples therapy was used to treat depression,
anxiety, and alcoholism.
Efforts were focused on preventing couples problems
with programs like PREP
Feminism, Multiculturalism, and Post-Modernism
impacted the field
Eclectic integration, brief therapy, and sex therapy
ideas were incorporated as well into our work.
10. As early as 1960, Gurin, Veroff, and Feld found
that over 40% of all people seeking psychological
help viewed the nature of their problem as marital.
Manus argued in 1966 that couples counseling
was a “technique in search of a theory” with little
conceptual clarity in evidence (Jacobson &
Gurman, 1995).
11. Olson (1970), the field’s first chronicler, referred to
marital therapy as a “youngster” which had “not
yet developed a solid theoretical base nor tested
its major assumptions and principles.”
Six years later he wrote, the field was “no longer
in its infancy” and was “showing signs of
maturing,” although it “appeared like an
adolescent, full of undirected energy.”
12. 1970’s – 1980’s
◦ Family counseling “killed marriage counseling” and did
not see it as independent, different, or important.
◦ This time period was seen as “family therapy’s golden
age.”
13. Even in the early 1980’s couples counseling
struggled to have a place.
Haley (1984) put it, “marriage counseling did not
seem relevant to the developing family therapy
field.”
It was seen that marriage counselors adopted the
ideas of other therapies rather than developing
their own.
14. Going back to the mid 1960’s to mid 1980’s only a
few new models appeared and only a handful of
important texts appeared.
By the mid-1980’s, couple therapy had reasserted
its existence and established what would become
more sustained theory development and empirical
research.
1986 was the beginning of couple therapy’s fourth
and current phase.
15. 1940’s only 5% of marriage counseling met
conjointly
1950’s rose to 9%
1960’s increased to 15%
Not until 1970’s did conjoint therapy become the
predominant technique of couples counseling.
16. 1965 George Bach published “the intimate enemy”
which was a new approach to couples’ therapy.
Problem was that people needed to air their anger
rather than suppress it
Expressing resentments would be a catharsis that
would clear the air
Partners took turns airing their resentments
17. We now know that there is no catharsis effect in
voicing anger and that Back’s procedure only built
resentment.
18. Quid Pro Quo
◦ A good relationship is based on reciprocating positive
behaviors and that a bad marriage is caused by a
breakdown of this contract.
Contingency contracting “give to get”
◦ Each person would identify what behaviors they wanted
to get from the other
◦ Counselor would help couple to write a contract for the
exchange of desired behaviors.
19. 1977 Murstein found that a reciprocity concept
was a hallmark of an ailing relationship…not a
happy one.
People became “affective accountants” when a
relationship wasn’t working well.
◦ “I did this for her, and she never reciprocated.”
When the relationship goes well, they don’t think
of this contingency.
20. Goal was to have couple identify their problem
and them help resolve them.
Therapist was seen as “super problem-solver”
Could start anywhere and teach a specific set of
relationship skills
Belief was that when specific skills were taught all
conflicts would be solved.
21. Focus on resolution of conflict is misguided.
Gottman’s research revealed that most conflict
(69%) in relationships is perpetual.
◦ Based on lasting differences in personalities and needs.
Couples need to dialogue about perpetual issues
or live in a state of ‘gridlock’
Goal is to manage conflicts rather than resolve
them.
22. Focus on teaching skills
System therapists taught:
◦ Avoiding mindreading, establishing clear feedback loops,
being able to meta-communicate about double binding
messages.
Rogerian and behavior therapists taught:
◦ Active listening to one another
23. If you teach skills, these are what need to be
taught.
In happy, lasting relationships:
◦ The approach toward conflict is gentle.
◦ Partners soften the way they bring up an issue
◦ Partners accept influence from one another
◦ Relationships have a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative
affect during conflict
◦ Consistently communicate acceptance of one another
24. In happy, lasting relationships:
◦ They keep their level of physiological arousal low
◦ They pre-empt negativity in the interaction
◦ They repair the interaction and de-escalate if it does
become negative
◦ They move gently toward compromise
25. In relationships that are ailing and failing:
◦ There is either an escalation of negative affect,
◦ a lack of positive affect,
◦ or a state of emotional disengagement
27. Some conflicts are real deal-breakers
◦ These conflicts contain ‘hidden agenda’
◦ Partners have the same argument over and over
◦ Positions are embedded with deep personal meaning so
that compromise seems completely unthinkable
Need to help couples talk about deeper meaning
◦ Freedom, power, love, and justice
28. 1970s therapy had a strong behavioral and
cognitive base.
Therapist was the rational and calm one.
Couple was viewed as emotional and out of
control.
Following Bowen’s ideas, our job was to help the
couple control their feelings.
29. Bowen believed that the partners would control
their emotion using reason.
The counselor was assisting each partner’s
cerebral cortex in gaining dominance over the
primitive limbic system.
It was emotion versus reason, and reason should
win.
Goal was supporting the process of evolution.
30. Bowen’s views about the brain and emotion
versus reason are wrong.
In the brain there is an integration of emotion and
reason
Without emotion, problems do not get solved very
well.
Emotion, prioritizing figure from ground, and the
intuitive ‘sense of the matter’ are essential in
problem solving.
31. People are not rational decision makers.
Expressing emotion does not mean being ‘out of
control’.
Emotion is central to the understanding and
treatment of couples’ relationships.
Gottman’s research shows that the nature of
emotional interaction predicts what happens to a
relationship.
32. Affect is not the problem; it is central for
understanding, compassion, and change.
We need to become the expert on emotion, and
on helping couples establish emotional
connection.
33. Bowen believed the goal was to help partners
become less ‘enmeshed’ and more ‘differentiated.’
34. Dependency is now legitimate in relationships.
Based on attachment theory, the partners are no
longer seen as either dependent or independent.
Dependency is seen as either effective or
ineffective.
35. Believed that couples needed to reduce negative
affect and build positive affect.
Goal of therapy was to help couples schedule
‘love days’ designed to increase positive behavior
between partners.
36. Building positive affect both during conflict and in
everyday interaction is essential to ensure lasting
change.
‘Love days’ didn’t change positive affect during
conflict.
To increase positive affect, need to focus on
improving both the couple’s friendship and secure
attachment.
37. Assumed that if we dealt with conflict, the positive
affect systems would be activated automatically.
38. Positive affect systems must be build and
maintained intentionally as part of therapy
To build positive affect and secure attachment,
couples need to work on
◦ turning toward bids for emotional connection,
◦ building emotional intimacy, and
◦ building positive affect systems such as
courtship, romance, lust, sex,
play, fun, and adventure
39. Growing awareness that good friendship, positive
affect systems, and constructive conflict need to
be supplemented by building the couple’s shared
meaning system.
40. Couples need to identify and communicate
◦ their sense of purpose,
◦ the meaning of how they move through time together,
◦ their priorities and values,
◦ what they hold to be sacred
◦ their goals and missions, ethics, morality,
◦ philosophy of life and religion
◦ their legacy from their families and culture
Goal is to build an existential base to their lives
