This book brings together the papers written by the authors over the last fifteen years on the historical and philosophical foundations of Albert Ellis' Rational Psychotherapy (later Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, REBT) and its relationship to Stoicism, especially the later practical form represented by Epictetus. It goes beneath the well known similarities between Stoic "spiritual exercises" and modern psychotherapy, to look at the cause of these similarities. These lie in the conceptual continuities that connect the Stoics and other ancient philosophies with the modern cultural framework underlying psychotherapy.
Windy Dryden was the first Professor of Counselling in Britain, and is now a Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where he runs the MSc course in Rational-Emotive and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. He has authored or edited 195 books, and edited twenty book series. He was the founding editor of the 'British Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy' in 1982 and is now editor of the 'Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy'. Arthur Still taught psychology at the University of Durham until 1988. He then trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist and currently works in private practice in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. He was co-founder and editor of the journal 'History of the Human Sciences'.
