Abstract
As a result of 25 years of teaching experience before I actually began practicing psychotherapy, I structured the early stages of RET therapy with clients along the lines of a teacher structuring a learning experience. During my associate fellow training at the Institute for Rational-Emotive Therapy in New York, I was urged to be more “evocative” and less “didactic.” Subsequently, what I have tried to do is combine a lecturing style with an evocative interaction style.
