Hey u3122707! Thanks for spending the time doing that. I really appreciate it! :-)

Hey Simon, I've added a wiki table and numbered list to break up the text a little, feel free to 'undo' if doesn't suit! With your word count issues, I suggest focusing on the your chapter subtitle when working out where to chop....tricky though - everything you have is relevant and interesting! Rely on wiki-links where you can. Another option is to create a subpage (like an appendix). Could work for the foundational theories section perhaps? All the best, looks like you are nearly there! --u3122707 (discuss • contribs) 21:45, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey Sonia. Thanks for that. Great ideas, especially the table. Much appreciated!

Wikipedia links

Excellent use of Wikipedia links. The prefix in the link can be shorter i.e., w: instead of wikipedia:. Both work. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 01:29, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks James! :-)

Cross-Cultural Application

Hi There!

One thing I always look into with Therapy Techniques is their cross-cultural applicability. The common issue with most therapy models is that they are often designed by males within a western culture, and cross-cultural applicability is not really looked into before a technique has become widely acclaimed and used.

I have found an article that explores the cross-cultural limitation of REBT. Especially in the modern day, Therapists are increasingly exposed to clients from different cultures, and I should think that emotions can be experienced or expressed differently between cultures, so it would be interesting to see what would be different about conducting REBT with a client from a drastically different culture.

Here is the article! Not sure if it will help or not but it's an interesting read all the same!

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. Some copyedits were made - see https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion%2FBook%2F2017%2FRational_emotive_behavior_therapy&type=revision&diff=1766301&oldid=1763721 Theory Theories were very well described and explained, with examples. Research Research is well covered, using a critical approach, with reference to meta-analyses and specific studies. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Formatting Use default heading styles e.g., remove bold Written expression Overall, the chapter is very well written. The chapter benefited from a very well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s). Learning features The chapter makes good use of layout, links, and images and tables. See also - add more links to other relevant chapters Very good use of interwiki links to make the text interactive. All images should have APA style captions Spelling, grammar and proofreading Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. "that" was missing from several sentences See new doi format Remove issue numbers for continuously numbered journals

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an engaging overview of REBT and its application to everyday life. Structure and content Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The presentation is easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. Effective use of animation, text, and narration. Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was very quiet - review microphone set up. Consider muting the music during narration to help the viewer concentrate on the combination of visual information and narrated audio. Add acknowledgement of image sources - there may be copyright violation.
