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 paper attempts to further explain each therapy in detail.

    The Efficacy of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) in the Management of Stress in Military Personnel

    3

    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.

    Meseron Therapy As A Motivation Theory

    Abstract

    Reference is often made to Meseron as an African originated form of cognitive therapy. This
    classification arises from Meseron’s use of concepts such as thinking perceptive capacity,
    appraisal mechanism, operational facilities and choice. This is factual, but little is said about
    Meseron as a motivation theory. This paper intends to fill the gap by pointing out Meseron’s
    definition of man as a striving creature, its emphasis on resilience and the principle of “I
    can”.

    Psychological Intervention Outcome Of In-Patients Referred For Insight Oriented Therapy In Federal Neurosychiatric Hospital, Yaba Lagos

    Abstract

    Insight has been found to be an integral component that ensures success in most psychiatry
    treatment. It appears that, the more the client can understand the cause of the illness, the
    greater their chances of resolving their unpleasant experience. Insight-oriented
    psychotherapy is a client-centred therapy, a talk therapy that guides clients toward
    developing and understanding of self. It assumes that the client is healthy and their problem
    is a result of faulty-thinking. This study focused on testing the efficacy of insight oriented
    therapy in improving participants’ level of illness awareness. Forty three (43) inpatients
    from a federal government mental health facility were purposively selected based on
    referrals for individualized insight oriented therapy for a 12-session program. Participants
    responded to Beck Cognitive Insight Scale prior and after intervention (pre-posttest).The
    participants were made up of 23 males and 20 females with an average age of 32.21 9.31
    who entered therapy session upon referrals. The results revealed that insight oriented
    therapy had a significant impact on the level of the study sample’s insight
    [ t(42)= 47.429 p<.01]. Conclusively, insight oriented therapy has been
    found in this study to be efficacious in the management of patient with poor insight. Authors
    suggested that more clinical trials should be carried out to test It’s efficacy in larger samples
    and with control samples.

    Psychotherapy And Counselling

    Abstract

    Counseling and psychotherapy must be adapted to meet the developmental needs of children.
    It is generally held to be one part of an effective strategy for some purposes and not for
    others. In addition to therapy for the child, or even instead of it, children may benefit if their
    parents speak to a therapist, take parenting classes, attend grief counseling, or take other
    actions to resolve stressful situations that affect the child. Parent management training is a
    highly effective form of psychotherapy that teaches parents skills to reduce their child’s
    behavior problems.. Psychotherapy can be said to have been practiced through the ages.
    Historically, psychotherapy has sometimes meant “interpretative” (i.e. Freudian) methods,
    namely psychoanalysis, in contrast with other methods to treat psychiatric disorders such as
    behavior modification. Psychotherapy may be delivered in person, one on one or in groups,
    over the phone via telephone counseling, or via the internet. Psychotherapists may be mental
    health professionals, professionals from other backgrounds trained in a specific therapy, or
    in some cases non-professionals. Psychiatrists are first trained as physicians. One major aim
    of couselling is that it helps people identify problems and crises and encourages them to take
    positive steps to resolve these issues, as psychotherapy helps people with psychological
    problems that have built up over the course of a long period of time. Counselling and
    psychotherapy employ various techniques and strategies to resolve issues or behavioural
    problems. Therapy may address specific forms of diagnosable mental illness, or everyday
    problems in managing or maintaining interpersonal relationships or meeting personal goals.
    A course of therapy may happen before, during or after pharmacotherapy (e.g. taking
    psychiatric medication).
