Abstract

It was discovered through the researcher's supervisions that many Christian counselors and Christian clients realized there were similarities between REBT and Christian Counseling theories and they wanted to have a clear understanding of this. However, there are few research articles on the topic. Therefore, this study was to try to compare the similarities and differences of REBT and Christian Counseling theories, in order to help counselors' conceptual understanding of the two theories and provide suggestions for future development of REBT theory. This study was done through bibliography researches. The results show that there were similarities in the two theories on the human nature, in terms of human dignity, source of unhappiness, how to get peaceful mind and human emotion. And 4 counseling stages in the two were similar. But there were differences in pursuing counseling objectives: rational thinking in REBT, and following God's principles according to the Bible in the Christian Counselings. And REBT showed practically helpful techniques more in emotive, behavioral approaches for the clients. Several suggestions were made, such as applying meditation, making use of language and imagination, Socrates style discussion, passive attitudes and guilt feeling & etc. by collaborating the two theories for the development of REBT theory. And the need for future research was mentioned.

REBT与基督教辅导的比较

通过研究者的监督发现，很多基督徒咨询师和基督徒来访者都意识到REBT和基督教咨询理论有相似之处，他们想要对此有一个清晰的认识。然而，关于这一主题的研究文章很少。因此，本研究试图比较REBT与基督教咨询理论的异同，以帮助咨询师对这两种理论的概念性理解，并为REBT理论的未来发展提供建议。本研究是通过书目研究来完成的。结果表明，两种关于人性的理论在人的尊严、不快乐的来源、如何获得平静的心灵和人类的情感等方面都有相似之处。两者的4个咨询阶段相似。但在咨询目标的追求上存在差异:REBT的理性思考和基督教咨询中根据圣经遵循上帝的原则。REBT在情感和行为方面为客户展示了实际有用的技术。结合两种理论，提出了运用冥想、运用语言和想象、苏格拉底式讨论、被动态度和内疚感等几点建议，以促进REBT理论的发展。并提出了今后研究的需要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an international journal that publishes scholarly original papers concerning Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral hypnosis, and hypnotherapy, clinical and counseling psychology, psychiatry, mental health counseling, and allied areas of science and practice. The journal encourages scholarly debate amongst professionals involved in practice, theory, research, and training in all areas of scholarship relevant to REBT and CBT. The Journal is particularly interested in articles that define clinical practice and research and theoretical articles that have direct clinical applications. The Journal seeks theoretical discussions and literature reviews on the cognitive bases of the development and alleviation of emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, personality, and addictive disorders. We consider submissions on the applications of REBT and CBT to new areas of practice and client populations. The Journal considers the term Cognitive Behavior Therapy to represent a generic, overriding category or school of psychotherapy approaches that includes many different theories and techniques. The journals encourages research that clearly identifies the specific hypothetical constructs and techniques being measured, tested, and discussed, and the comparison of the relative influence of different cognitive processes, constructs, and techniques on emotional and behavioral disturbance. The Journal provides a timely introduction to unexplored avenues on the cutting edge of REBT and CBT research, theory, and practice.The Journal publishes:discussions of the philosophical foundations of psychotherapiestheory-buildingtheoretical articlesoriginal outcome research articlesbrief research reportsoriginal research on the support of theoretical models development of scales to assess cognitive and affective constructsresearch reviewsclinical practice reviewsempirically-based case studiesdescriptions of innovative therapeutic techniques and proceduresadvances in clinical trainingliterature reviews book reviewsUnder the guidance of an expanded, international editorial board consisting of acknowledged leaders in the field, the journal disseminates current, valuable information to researchers and practitioners in psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, mental health counseling, social work, education, and related fields.Manuscripts usually are less than 35 pages, double-spaced, and using 11 or 12-point font.
