.................... focuses on changing the irrational thoughts or beliefs that negatively affect a person's emotions or behaviours.
Answer: B
The keyed answer is Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy.
REBT, developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s, holds that emotional distress comes from irrational beliefs about events rather than from the events themselves (the ABC model: activating event, belief, consequence). Therapy identifies and disputes those beliefs and replaces them with rational ones. 'Irrational beliefs' is Ellis's own term, which is why the description points to REBT.
Cognitive behaviour therapy, which grew partly from Ellis's work and Beck's cognitive therapy, also targets distorted thinking, but more broadly. Transactional analysis studies ego states and transactions between people, and psychoanalytic therapy works on unconscious conflict.
