Snippets About Stoicism and Psychology

Episode 121 – Snippets About Stoicism and Psychology

Chris is away for the first podcast of the year and so Rowan will be taking you back through some of our previous episodes on stoic philosophy as an introduction for the next few episodes, which will also cover the topic of stoic philosophy.
These snippets will look at how Tim Beck and Albert Ellis used stoic principles to inform their therapy approaches, which went on to become modern cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
The first two clips are from episode 52 of Psych Spiels, The ABC of CBT and the final clip, discussing one of Ellis’s principles that is a distillation of stoic philosophy, is from episode 54, The Intolerance of Irrational Ideas.
