The ABC Model

 The A-B-C model says every situation can have multiple emotional reactions to it, depending upon the way a person chooses to process it.

Whenever an incident happens (Activating event) beliefs related to the event (Beliefs) (Consequences) to the incident. 

Ellis explains that it is our arising from how we interpret the situation/event, that leads to negative consequences.

So this model makes it possible for applying an intervention (or therapy) to the beliefs (B), in order to bring about change in emotions and behaviours.

Hence the focus is on irrational beliefs of the individual 1, wheras the focus in Beck’s theory is on the cognitive triad.
