Abstract
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy [REBT], Cognitive Behaviour Therapy [CBT] and
Meseron Therapy are three uniquely and very effective cognitive therapies used in clinical
psychology practice. It is essential to clearly spell out the difference in the therapies as some
psychologists in the past have experienced difficulty differentiating them. Rational Emotive
Behaviour Therapy [REBT] was developed by Albert Ellis [1962] based on the rationale that
irrational thinking is the root cause of psychological disturbances. Cognitive behaviour
therapy [CBT] by Aaron Beck [1976], posits that how individuals view situations may result
in psychological disturbances while Meseron Therapy by Alfred Awaritefe [1995] postulates
that psychological disturbances arise as a result of faulty speaking as seen in the distortion of
our appraisal mechanism, acquiescing to negativity and incongruence of striving and goals.

This study examines the efficacy (effectiveness) of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy
(REBT) in the management of stress in military personnel. Forty Five (45) out of Sixty (60)
military personnel drawn from Army, Navy, and Air Force who obtained high scores on SCL-
90 and MSI were randomly placed into experimental, placebo, and control groups consisting
of 15 participants each. The pretreatment scores of the three groups were taken. The
experimental group received 10 REBT sessions, the placebo group had 10 sessions but only
discussed professionalization in the Nigerian military. The control group received no
treatment. The results showed that pos-treatment scores of the experimental group were
lower than their pretreatment scores as that of the placebo and control groups. Using
ANOVA to determine the significant difference in the three groups, it was found that the
experimental group showed significant differences in all 11 measures. The results were
discussed in terms of the efficacy of REBT in the management of stress in military personnel.Author: Damian D. Osa-Afiana
