The theory of rational psychotherapy of Ellis suggests that the basis of neurotic behavior is the irrationality that human activity finds vyrajeniem the form of emotions. A person need only rationally to structure their thinking, and rational behavioral patterns will not be forthcoming.

Irrational behavior based on emotional groundless assumptions. Egoism is rationally organized person is in harmony with the public interest; man is by nature committed to love, to be of some interest to others, seeks to help his fellow men.

Irrational thinking is the cause of self-destructive tendencies and self-loathing. Man is relatively free from psychosis, moderately intelligent, non-adherent to the dogmas of other types of psychotherapy (e.g., Freudianism), better suited to rational psychotherapy. Here are the key ideas dear to the heart of every therapist, practitioner of rational analysis.

Among them:

  • "Man, you're free to decide."
  • "Improve your personality"
  • "Live in dialogue with others"
  • "Your own experience — that the last resort"
  • "Live a full life in each moment"
  • "No other truth, apart from the action"
  • "You can surpass yourself, if you're going to be active"
  • "A creative approach to the realization of their potential"
  • "Making your own decisions, you become a man"
  • "You must come to terms with the limitations which certainly puts life."
