A theoretical integration of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and solution-focused therapy is described. It is suggested
that the integrative conceptualization underscores these models’ complementary aspects by addressing the limitations of each
and enhancing their respective strengths. The clinical theory and process of the integrative model is explicated along with
a case example. Directions for future theory building, research, and practice are considered.
Keywords: REBT - solution-focused therapy - integration
