Description

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a computer program for computer-assisted counseling based on rational-emotive behavior therapy. Fukui and Nishiyama (1995) developed a computer-assisted counseling program that modified clients' irrational beliefs to rational beliefs, using items from the Japanese Irrational Belief Test (Matsumura, 1991), but each session using that program takes a very long time. The revised program tested in the present study was more practical, including a mechanism that shortened each session to about 50 minutes, and adding instruction in the A-B-C model of rational-emotive behavior therapy, as well as homework. The homework assignments required the clients to think about the advantages and disadvantages of each irrational belief. The results suggested that the revised program decreased anxiety more than the Fukui-Nishiyama program.
