Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ellis is known for Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which focuses on challenging irrational beliefs and thoughts. In this scenario, Ellis would likely challenge Freud's belief that all of his work should be well-received and explore the underlying irrationality of that belief. Option A is not relevant to REBT, while Option B is merely restating Freud's complaint. Option C is not appropriate, as Ellis would not be a neurologist.
