    • Specifically Sokan  (1996), states that effective therapist should continually help in unmasking his clients past and especially his present illogical thinking of self defeating talks by
      (a)         Bringing them to his attention  or consciousness
      (b)         Showing the client how they are causing and maintaining their disturbance and unhappiness
      (c)         Demonstrating exactly  what that  illogical links in his internalized  sentence are
      (d)         Teaching  him how to rethink and re verbalize these sentence  in a more logical self helping way
      In changing  the clients illogical thought, he/she should be exposed to main irrational thought, that human beings are prone,  to so that at the expiration of the therapy he does not fall a victim to another set.
      Consequently, unequivocal attack on the client’s general and specific irrational idea and to try induce him to adopt more rational ones in their place.
      Sokan (1996) lists two main ways by which rational therapist  attack the irrational ideas:
      (i)          He serves as a frank counter –propagandist who directly contradicts and derives the self defeating propaganda of the client
      (2)    The therapist  encourages, persuades and sometimes  commends the client to partake  in some activity which itself will act as a forceful center propagandist against the client irrational thoughts.
      (ii)         Achievement orientation: The level of aspiration in all human  endeavour is a factor of the individuals internalized  construct known as achievement  orientation or need for achievement. Achievement  orientation as a personality trait or construct encompasses learned predisposition to achieve or attain success in completion with an internalized standard of excellence. Achievement orientation makes an individual to man and execute tasks and actions leading to the achievement  of a goal.
      Anameze (1992), beliefs that achievement orientation enables an individuals to plan a task, feel connected  with the plan and select appropriate steps and carry them out to achieve a goal. Many students who fail examination are likely to have negative achievement orientation. This can be inferred from their negative attitude towards planning academic tasks and selecting appropriate strategies to tackle them, besides, they hardly feel connected with work and this denies them success. To escape the problem many of them indulge in examination mal-practice.
