...don't mean to butt-in...but this is an open forum. ...I am sure Ryan did not mean that personally to you Pearl or any of the real fans. BUT, I have said it before myself. ...especially when NOTHING about anything or nothing about Neil is posted for up to 2 months at a time on these boards, these boards are dying. Neil is REALLY popular, as a recording artist and as a live performer...but these boards do not attract many of his fans for some reason. There seems to be about 5 of us and then a few pig-people who drop in and stir things up. There must be at least one other big fan out there...when I won that autographed hamburger for charity...it cost a fortune and there were obviously other bidders behind me - people who were obviously big Neil fans. ...unless it was the charity putting in bids to make me pay more...

Abstract
Albert Ellis developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), a brief, direct, and solution-oriented therapy which focuses on resolving specific problems facing a troubled individual. Fundamental to REBT is the concept that our emotions result solely from our beliefs, not by the events that occur in our lives. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for our beliefs to be healthy and rational, because the consequences of these beliefs will be emotional growth and happiness. If our beliefs are irrational and self-defeating, our emotional life suffers from neuroses such as self-blame, depression, and anxiety. REBT is an educational process in which the therapist teaches the client how to identify irrational beliefs, dispute them, and replace them with rational ones. Once the client is equipped with healthy beliefs, emotional difficulties and problematic behavior are abated.
What Kind of Beings are Human Beings?
Albert Ellis, the creator of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), believes that human beings are born with the dual potentials for both healthy and unhealthy thought processes. He calls the healthy process rational thinking and the unhealthy variety irrational thinking. Rational thinking, as would be expected, means objectively seeing things as they really are, whereas irrational thinking distorts reality by misinterpreting things that happen.
At the core of REBT is the A-B-C theory of personality. The A stands for an activating event, usually some type of challenging life situation. An example activating event might be a teenage boy being "dumped" by his girlfriend. The B represents a belief that takes over and causes the emotional consequence, represented by the C. If the belief is irrational (for example, the boy believes "I am a loser"), the consequence is likely to be depression or anger. Alternatively, if the belief is rational (e.g. "I am a valuable person") the consequence would be only a temporary sadness that the relationship is over. Key to Ellis's thought is that the belief, not the activating event, causes the emotional consequence. Therefore, if a person has a number of irrational beliefs, then he or she is likely to experience much emotional pain throughout life as various challenges are encountered. On the other hand, if a person's beliefs are rational, then he or she can handle the disappointing events of life with aplomb. In other words, how one feels is primarily determined by how one thinks (Corey, 2001).
Where do our self-sabotaging irrational beliefs originate? Ellis teaches that we learn some of them from other people during our childhood and the rest we concoct on our own. This is the only way in which the past matters to Ellis: our current beliefs are learned from past experiences. The past cannot be changed and REBT places very little emphasis on discussing it; instead, REBT works to replace the illogical beliefs with logical ones (Albert Ellis Institute, n.d.).
What Constitutes Psychological Dysfunction?
In Ellis's thought, irrational beliefs (also called self-defeating beliefs) are the cause of human neuroses, including depression and anxiety. Irrational beliefs tend to ignore the positive, exaggerate the negative, distort reality, and/or overgeneralize. REBT teaches that people tend to overuse "shoulds," "musts," and "oughts." Many of these self-defeating beliefs are indoctrinated in early life and grow stronger as a person continually revisits them.
As mentioned previously, according to the A-B-C theory of personality, the belief, not the activating event, causes the emotional consequence. When the belief is irrational, the emotion is not healthy. The consequences of irrational beliefs can be relatively mild (procrastination, for example) but can also be extremely disruptive, immobilizing, or even dangerous (Corey, 2001).
What Constitutes Wellness?
As would be expected, Ellis argues that mental wellness results from a surfeit of rational beliefs and an absence of self-defeating beliefs. When a stressful activating event occurs and the operating belief is a rational one, then the resulting emotional consequence is not unhealthy or immobilizing. This does not mean a healthy person never experiences sorrow or displeasure, but REBT does hope to keep debilitating emotions to a minimum (Albert Ellis Institute, n.d.).
Ellis teaches that unconditional self-acceptance is of prime importance in achieving wellness. Healthy people know that they are not perfect and will continue to make mistakes, but see themselves as worthwhile nevertheless. They consider themselves valuable just as a result of being alive; in fact, they relish life and they have the capacity to continually enjoy themselves.
How Does the Counselor Help?
Recalling the A-B-C theory of personality, successful REBT therapy adds steps D, E, and F. The D stands for disputing: the therapist helps the client to challenge the irrational belief (B). Ellis (1974) suggests that the therapist ask the client if there is any evidence for the belief, or what would be the worst possible outcome if the client were to give up that belief. In therapy the counselor may point out faulty beliefs, but he or she also teaches the client how to dispute them in day-to-day life outside of therapy. The result of disputing the self-defeating belief and replacing it with a rational one yields an effective philosophy (E), and also a new set of feelings (F) which are not debilitating.
Although REBT teaches that the counselor should demonstrate unconditional full acceptance, the therapist is not encouraged to build a warm and caring relationship with the client. The counselor's only task is to aid the client in identifying and confronting irrational beliefs and replacing them with rational ones. The therapist usually is not even interested in the past events which are the source of the irrational belief; all that matters is getting rid of that belief in the present.
Ellis believes that the client has to work hard to get better, and this work may include homework assigned by the therapist. The assignments frequently are meant to desensitize the client by having him or her do the very thing that is causing fear. Since REBT focuses on specific problems and avoids detailed analysis, it can be used as a brief therapy. Another factor contributing to brevity is that the counselor teaches the client how to identify and dispute self-defeating beliefs so that the client can help himself or herself in the future without the need of therapy (Ellis, 1974).
A successful collaboration between the REBT therapist and a client results in changes to the client's cognitions, which results in the client feeling better. Self-defeating thinking is arrested and behavioral changes result. The client moves toward self-acceptance despite his or her imperfections.

OFC, this is SOOOOOOOOO dumb. I give Neil Hamburger at least 10/10. I really do. He is groundbreakingly funny. His jokes, his delivery...his character. BUT, be realistic, Boni's boards are 1/10 at best...because no more than 5 people discuss Neil. I WISH THAT WOULD CHANGE, STARTING WITH YOU. Riddle me this: WHEN was the last time anyone on this board discussed seeing Neil Hamburger on tour ? WHEN was the last time anyone discussed Neil's most recent release, "Western Music & Variety" ? Answer please, fan. P.S. ...I think Boni's website is 9/10 personally. It is up to date and really comprehensive. ...but the fans let her and Neil down on the boards.
