What we’re about
REBT stands for "Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy" and is the original form of cognitive behavior therapy developed by Dr. Albert Ellis in 1955.
The Boston REBT society is a group of individuals dedicated to learning and practicing cognitive therapeutic techniques that enhance their ability to effectively manage and reduce the incidence of unhealthy negative emotions such as anger, depression and anxiety. We strive to serve as living examples of how the successful practice of such techniques can be of great benefit to oneself and society at large.
