Rationality in an “irrational” world: Using REBT in performance settings
Dr Martin J Turner PhD CPsychol FAREBT (Acad)
Location: Virtual Zoom Platform
For a decade, the reported use of REBT within performance settings such as sport has grown remarkably. Research evidence indicates that REBT is received well and is demonstrably effective in these performance settings. Dr. Martin Turner has been at the forefront of these developments, and in this workshop will talk about how REBT can be used in performance settings. Interactive elements will enable delegates to discuss key features of REBT and get to grips with the realities of REBT in performance contexts. Applied ideas and tools are shared, and Dr. Turner explores the recent developments in this applied research area, detailing new studies across a range of performance settings.

He is a British Psychological Society (BPS) Chartered and Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist.
