Your psychiatrist is just flat-out wrong about REBT. It's not about making people think more; it's about changing the way you think. It has nothing to do with how intelligent you are. He was right about one thing, though: it's very effective--especially for OCD.

If you bought what this psychiatrist was saying about REBT, then I'd definitely bring it up with your therapist. (Or, for that matter, do a little more reading on REBT and you'll see just how far off-base he is.) I know it's hard to disregard advice by an MD--we've all been conditioned to look to these people as major authority figures--but the reality is that most psychiatrists are only experts at writing prescriptions.
