Today is the tenth anniversary of the death of Dr Albert Ellis, the very damaged individual who created RE & CBT! https://abc-counselling.org/2017/07/21/albert-ellis-and-rebt-ten-years-later/
Friday 21 July 2017
Albert Ellis was a man of his time, which was a long time ago. He modelled his philosophy of psychotherapy[y on the idealistic notions of a Roman slave, instead of on modern theories of social psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and so on. He grossly oversimplified the nature of human disturbance; blamed the client for ‘choosing’ to upset themselves; and denied the value of moral language.

Tenth Anniversary of
the Death of Albert Ellis:
On this anniversary, I have today posted a book review by Dr
Meredith Nisbet of my book on the childhood of Albert Ellis. This is what she wrote:
“Book Review – by Dr Meredith Nisbet:
“I learned so much about
human nature reading your book about Ellis. I also learned from your book about
Jim Byrne. The similarities are obvious. The differences are where most of the
learning comes. You overcame your childhood experiences; he lived with his
experiences, but the differences were that he needed help to conquer his
experiences, but he never was able to “normalize” as you did. I’d like to hear
your comments on what made the difference for you – something within you
or the people who helped you? Was his problem something he missed or didn’t
think he needed? I think it was more the latter. What do you think?”
