“Ellis suggested that a small number of core beliefs underlie most unhelpful emotions and behaviours”.

For the assignments on our courses we are more interested in your subjective response rather than a purely academic exercise. Tell us how the course “affected you”, how you “felt” about the various case studies and scenarios presented. As you will now understand after reading the course material emotional intelligence is very important in this work rather than analytical thinking although that has a place also, so try and get a good balance between both.
