Have you ever tried REBT to understand WHY you are an addict/alcoholic/whatever one can obsess about to actually change your behavior? There are steps to rationally assess the cost/benefit of anything that is excessive or controlling one's life. Of course the change has to come first in the mind -whatever method works. Oh, and it has to be for some desired goal (i.e. being a healthy happy member of society vs a wasted selfish destructive scumbag)
Modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy did not really get started until the late 50's or early 60's with Beck and Ellis (each one claimed inception) Anyway, it's just a more superior method of self help and concrete analysis of one's problem behavior.Oh Well (favorite song by Peter Green) - covered by many many artists.
