The Institute for CENT Studies.

Hi, I have just posted an update to the Institute for Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT) Studies homepage, here:
http://www.abc-counselling.com/id112.html

It begins:

Integrating cognitive, psychodynamic and narratives approaches to counselling and therapy, in a social constructionist and moral philosophy framework.

Welcome to the Institute for Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy Studies, which was formed in April 2007, with the following aims:

AIMS

1. To build upon the early writings of Albert Ellis (especially his 1957 paper to the American Psychological Association, and his 1962 book, Reason and Emotion in Psychotherapy); to develop a more complex ABC model which includes the models of mind developed by Freud (id, ego, superego) and Berne ('Parent/Adult/Child' ego states); to explore some ideas from the Object Relations school (e.g. Klein/Fairbairn); to consider the role of narrative approaches to therapy, and a contextual constructionist form of Zen/Taoism.
