There is considerable support for the integration of REBT and the multimodal approach (Ellis, 1997; Kwee & Ellis,1997)
• ‘REBT is not only multimodal in its Techniques, but largely endorses Arnold Lazarus’ 1989 technical eclecticism.’ (Ellis, 1997
• Techniques used in multimodal therapy (MMT) and REBT overlap for 65 80%;
• Both rely on empirical evidence before using a borrowed technique;
• REBT and MMT both integrate action, thought, and feeling;
• The circular character or the modalities is recognized in both approaches
• The BASIC I.D. and the A B C largely concur (REBT does not ignore biological/health issues (Ellis, 1976
