Working to change your personal philosophy is a valid therapeutic technique — one which can lead to genuine growth. Behavior, emotion and cognition, says Albert Ellis, are all interrelated. He tells us how to recognize irrational belief patterns based on “musts” and “shoulds.” He then presents methods for self-analysis and therapy.

Dr. Ellis discusses and demonstrates the modeling approach, the use of humor, the use of cognitive homework, unconditional acceptance of clients, the use of strong language and dealing with low frustration tolerance. In a moving manner, he also describes the application of these principles in his own life experience. (A DVD program in two parts)

Born in 1913, Albert Ellis, Ph.D., was one of the most influential figures in the history of psychology. He is author of over 600 academic papers and more than 50 books including A Guide to Rational Living, How to Live with a Neurotic, Humanistic Psychotherapy, The Art and Science of Love and Sex Without Guilt. Dr. Ellis is considered the grandfather of cognitive behavior therapy, the founder of Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) and one of the architects of the sexual revolution.

  2. Sadly he is speaking crap when he says psychoanalysis doesn't work and his method does. Research shows that all therapies are equal in efficacy. Check out the Dodo Bird Verdict. Ellis and other CBT based practitioners have a cognitive distortion that stops them from seeing limitations in their beloved CBT.

  4. If you are an honest and rational person who is ready to learn the truth of life and death, then there is a site called The Truth Contest (Google it)

    Click the top entry entitled ~The Present~

  9. i dont understand how people can say this guy is a lunatic or creep. What he's saying is a matter-of-fact. Freud's philosophy is very similar with more focus on sex

  10. Thank´s Al for book,A Guide To Ration.Living,bought i Sweden 1977.This book help me a lot,my best friend ever…

  13. He's so right about how we upset ourselves with demands on ourselves and others. I remember when I used to be very nervous before taking tests, and I would remember thinking that I had to pass otherwise it pull be awful and I would never get a real, good-paying job. However, recently before a test I wasn't nervous (because of hard work in rebt therapy), and I remember thinking, "I don't have to pass this test, though I would very much like, too. If I don't pass, I can just withdraw from the class, learn from my failure, and try again." And I was, like, "Wow! Ellis really is right."

  17. What a wonderful perspective. I encourage all those who watch to share their viewpoints and reflect up on the possibilities of his teaching while still opening oneself to many perspectives. In the end, the result is the pursuit of being a good and virtuous being.

  20. Comes off as rather arrogant, dismissing the whole concept of parental and childhood influences, schemes, dismissing Freud and so forth, ultimately seeing the person only as a dull machine. Not that Freud's theory is the best but it did have some excellent points, especially on reverting to earlier developmental stages, previous conflicts. I just feel he overdid it emphasizing the whole oral- anal etc stages.

  25. Rationality and the scientific method must be made a compulsory part of primary education for all. That is the only way we can imagine a more harmonious future, and one free from pitfalls of our own thought.

  31. The R in REBT:
    Rationality; an existential framework for self-disconnecting oneself from the hereditary "good/bad ethical dichotomy," bad as it may be, towards a full fledged self-justified ethical system I.e. Nietzschian Relativism, along with its moral-ambiguity ethical system.

    I Love it! LOL

  38. Even though i didn’t get REBT as a psychotherapy, i’ve really got huge benefit from CBT as a psychology student. We owe so many things to these two legendary men: Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis .

  42. Alot of rehab facilities are FINALLY moving away from 12 step "pray away your addiction" garbage and adopting treatment plans based on his teachings….
