E-book Category: Medicine E-book Title: On the Conceptual Errors of Bond and Dryden (1996) Author: Jim Byrne Book Description: This paper investigates the claims of Bond and Dryden (1996) - 'Why Two Central REBT Hypotheses Appear Untestable' - and argues that Bond and Dryden (1996) were mistaken in their interpretation of what Ellis (1958) had to say about the way that "thought and emotion are not two entirely different processes, but that they significantly overlap in many respects..." (Page 36, Ellis, 1958). It will be shown that cognition and emotion overlap at point B in the A>B>C model, in the form of cognitive-emotive processing; and that there is also a historically accumulated "behavioural/physiological" component to this processing. These historical representations of experienced behavioural responses (Y's) are stored at B, in the simple episodic model of the A>B>C; but in a distinct store in the more complex, forward-rolling A>B>C model.
