Dr Jim Byrne offers training, supervision, research ideas, information on REBT, and recommended books.

Option 4 of ABC Services: Training, supervision, REBT Information, research information,  and recommended books

The following services - and/or information - are available on this website:

1. Counselling and therapy training:

The ABC Coaching Academy, which was formally established in 2001, has now been incorporated into the Institute for Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy.  This institute was set up in March 2007 to take forward the most useful elements of REBT, combined with other systems of therapy, and other philosophies of life.  The aim of the Training Division of the Institute is to provide high quality, low cost training in cognitive therapy related subjects, including Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy training by distance learning and face to face.  Over the past eight years, Dr Jim Byrne has provided distance training courses in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Counselling to students in various parts of the world.

Plans for 2011: A range of new courses is now on offer, and being developed.

In-house training is also on offer.

4. Counselling research:

Many counsellors (though by no means a majority) are naturally concerned to understand the basis of their theories and practices, as presented in the literature of the profession. The function of counselling research is to improve counselling and therapy practice.

5. Books for personal and professional development:

Reading is a crucially important part of continuing professional development for counsellors and therapists; and bibliotherapy (or learning therapy ideas from books) is a very effective way for individuals to become their own counsellors, by reading some of the best ideas in circulation, without having to pay a high price for this knowledge. Brian Tracy, and American business coach, once argued that 80% of all the best books that are sold each year are bought by 20% of the population, and thus knowledge is unevenly spread across any population. Furthermore, if you were to read one book per week for the next three years, you would be among the top 5% of educated individuals on this planet. That's truly shocking. Books are a treasure trove of ideas, attitudes, values and concepts.

What are the best books for counsellors and therapists to read?  And what about their clients' reading needs?  And reading material for individuals who want to improve their understanding of their own thinking, emotions and behaviours? That would be a huge project, constructing such a list, or lists. I have begun a humble attempt to list some interesting contributions to such a list. You can always suggest additions...
