Albert Ellis (27 set 1913 ano – 24 jul 2007 ano)

Descrição:

Albert Ellis (1913 - 2007) was an American psychologist who in 1955 developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). He held MA and PhD degrees in clinical psychology from Columbia University and the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).

He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and an early proponent of cognitive-behavioral therapies.

REBT therapists strive to help their clients develop three types of acceptance: 1. unconditional self-acceptance; 2. unconditional other-acceptance; and 3. unconditional life-acceptance.

Clinical experience and a growing supply of experimental evidence show that REBT is effective and efficient at reducing emotional pain. In the early days of REBT, even Dr. Ellis did not clearly see that consistent use of its philosophical system would have such a profound effect on the field of psychotherapy or on the lives of the millions of people who have benefited from it.
