REBT was established in the 1950s by Albert Ellis (previously a psychoanalyst) as a technique born out of philosophy that enables people to change how they feel and behave by changing the way they think. It empowers the clients to counsel themselves and ultimately heal their emotional/behavioral disturbances. SMART Recovery born out of Rational Recovery was officially began operating in 1994. SMART has a variety of meeting approaches, meetings take place in the community, online, correctional facilities and all meetings are free.
