Hey u3122707! Thanks for spending the time doing that. I really appreciate it! :-)


 * Hey Simon, I've added a wiki table and numbered list to break up the text a little, feel free to 'undo' if doesn't suit! With your word count issues, I suggest focusing on the your chapter subtitle when working out where to chop....tricky though - everything you have is relevant and interesting! Rely on wiki-links where you can. Another option is to create a subpage (like an appendix). Could work for the foundational theories section perhaps? All the best, looks like you are nearly there! --u3122707 (discuss • contribs) 21:45, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey Sonia. Thanks for that. Great ideas, especially the table. Much appreciated!

Wikipedia links
Excellent use of Wikipedia links. The prefix in the link can be shorter i.e., w: instead of wikipedia:. Both work. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 01:29, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks James! :-)

Cross-Cultural Application
Hi There!

One thing I always look into with Therapy Techniques is their cross-cultural applicability. The common issue with most therapy models is that they are often designed by males within a western culture, and cross-cultural applicability is not really looked into before a technique has become widely acclaimed and used.

I have found an article that explores the cross-cultural limitation of REBT. Especially in the modern day, Therapists are increasingly exposed to clients from different cultures, and I should think that emotions can be experienced or expressed differently between cultures, so it would be interesting to see what would be different about conducting REBT with a client from a drastically different culture.

Here is the article! Not sure if it will help or not but it's an interesting read all the same!
