Albert Ellis

How do you start aAlbert Ellis research paper? Our expert writers suggest like this:

Albert Ellis pioneered Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) back in the 1950s as a way to address what he felt was unnecessary emotional distress in patients. By addressing not the situations in which people found themselves but rather the beliefs they held about the situations and life in general (which are often irrational and unhelpful), he and his practice have been able to help many, many people lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

REBT AND ELLIS

Albert Ellis was a successful psychologist born in 1913 and operating on the East Coast throughout his career. His degrees are both from Columbia University, and he established the Albert Ellis Institute in New York in 1959 to promote his new practice, REBT. REBT, which is now recognized as the first of the cognitive behavioral therapies, became a very successful practice, eventually allowing Ellis to purchase a large building and form a training institute.
