In this paper, I will consider the concept of awfulizing, typically seen in REBT theory as a secondary irrational belief that is derived from the primary irrational belief, known as demandingness, or more colloquially as musturbation. I will look at how the concept of awfulizing has been defined in REBT and some of the objections to its use in therapy and beyond. If REBT therapists are going to target awfulizing beliefs for change then this needs to be done carefully and within the context of a good working alliance. I will outline some important considerations that therapists need to be aware of when working with their clients’ awfulizing beliefs.

令人恐惧：一些概念和治疗考虑

在本文中，我将考虑可怕化的概念，通常在 REBT 理论中被视为一种次要的非理性信念，它源自主要的非理性信念，称为要求，或更通俗地称为 musturbation。我将看看 REBT 中可怕化的概念是如何定义的，以及对其在治疗及其他领域使用的一些反对意见。如果 REBT 治疗师将针对可怕的信念进行改变，那么这需要在良好的工作联盟的背景下谨慎完成。我将概述一些重要的考虑因素，治疗师在与客户的可怕信念合作时需要注意这些因素。
