Question

Ellis's concept of _____ suggests that people's generalized "shoulds" and "musts" create their emotional and behavioral dysfunctions.

Answer 1

Ellis's concept of  “irrational belief” (Maladaptive thinking) suggests that people's generalized "shoulds" and "musts" create their emotional and behavioral dysfunctions.

A famous example is given of the scenario when someone sets a goal of his/her happiness that they are loved by each and everyone around them, this is irrational belief which is actually impossible and moreover this hands over the option of happiness to other people than the person himself.
