Evaluating Counselors SpiritualREBT perform evaluations with religious clients to determine whether to keep them in therapy. These assessments also determine the set of treatment strategies for clients. Additionally, REBT counselors must consider their ability to ethically offer services to religious clients (Nielsen, Johnson, & Ellis, 2001). It is essential that REBT counselors understand that religion is multidimensional in its degree of expression. In the initial assessment, REBT counselors must address the degree to which clients are connected to their religion and the degree to which religious commitment and practice may be linked to the presenting problem(s). As soon as a REBT counselor determines that religion has considerable significance in a client's existence, it is acceptable to infer that the client potentially evaluates his or her world on three essential religious aspects. These include the authority role of human leaders, the scriptures or doctrine, and standards of religious groups. As REBT counselors evaluate the degree of salience in a client's life, the counselor should recognize that for high-salience clients there may be both positive and negative effects related to religious devotion. According to Ellis and Dryden (2000), When religion is personally salient to the client, the REBT therapist can then move on to exploring the extent to which religious belief and practice are clinically significant or specifically connected to the triggering event, consequences dysfunctional emotional and behavioral problems and the disturbance caused by the client. beliefs. When religious beliefs or behaviors appear linked to clinical disorders, REBT once again emphasizes a very active direction... in the center of the card... exercises. Ultimately, the focus of this counseling process is for counselors to identify inconsistencies between clients' irrational beliefs and the behavioral pattern of Christ and the truth in Scripture (Johnson, 1993). The BodyREBT theory is successful in helping clients with a number of clinical aspects. and non-clinical problems. Considerable research is needed in the area of body assessment and treatment with REBT techniques. This is necessary, of course, before any definitive conclusions can be drawn about the effects of these methods and therapies in the counseling context. Furthermore, the implication for the study is that further investigation is needed to determine whether there is a difference between therapies and outcomes. Further research should involve an evaluation of the role and definition of counselors in working with organism and REBT theory.
