Hello, In light of some of the recent threads that have got out of hand, and since this is a techie forum, as the list moderators, we've enabled some emergency moderation (meaning that our mailboxes might get full) for a period of time so as to allow us to cool off. Regards, -- Josiah Mugambi

REBT, madness
by Gakuru Alex 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Dear all, Who would know when the medical technology skunkworks forum will be active? It might be resourceful to store below there. Abstract The rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) theory holds that individuals with severe personality disorders in general, and borderline personalities in particular usually are biologically different from “normal” neurotics and are born with a predisposition to be highly vulnerable to stressful environmental conditions. They tend to have cognitive, emotional, and behavioral deficits or disabilities that handicap them socially, vocationally, and in other important aspects of their lives. But they also have distinct, and sometimes exceptionally strong, neurotic tendencies to demand that they absolutely must perform well, that other people have to treat them kindly and fairly, and that frustrating conditions ought not exist. Their neurosis exacerbates their cognitive-emotive-behavioral handicaps, produces even greater life difficulties, and often interferes with their working hard at therapy. A summary is presented of how borderline personalities can be treated with rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). http://www.springerlink.com/content/w88rk87507215823/ 2. The phrase; "Madness is any behaviour, feeling or thinking that interferes with one's ability to work, get along with others, or simply enjoy life." Regards, Alex
