Mission: To
promote publications that help to integrate Rational therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment theory,
Moral philosophy and Zen Buddhism
The Institute for Cognitive Emotive
Narrative Therapy (I-CENT) was
established in March 2007, by Jim Byrne and Renata Taylor-Byrne, to take forward the best of Dr Albert Ellis’s therapeutic
ideas, by integrating them with emerging ideas from Attachment theory, Narrative therapy, Transactional Analysis, and a number
of ideas from Buddhism and Moral philosophy.
Over the past four years,
much work has been done towards this mission. Dr Byrne has written thirteen papers on some of the key questions addressed
in the development of Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT) theory.
