Dr Albert Ellis
ignited, and powerfully fuelled, the cognitive revolution in psychology,
counseling and therapy, with his pioneering approach of Rational Emotive
Behavior Therapy (REBT) in the 1950’s. In addition, he helped transform
limiting and uncivil social mores and attitudes of the time, with his vigorous
actions supporting equality for women, gay rights, inter-racial marriage,
ending of censorship and many more. He has often been referred to as “The
greatest humanitarian since Gandhi”. He wrote over 85 published books and over
800 published articles, presented tirelessly around the USA and across the
globe, and helped millions of people through his REBT approach to suffer less emotional
misery and to experience more happiness in their lives.
During
his Centennial year 2013, his wife Dr Debbie Joffe Ellis is available to speak
about Dr Albert Ellis and his legacy.
Born September 27th,
1913, this year marks the centennial anniversary of his birth. At various major
conferences throughout the year tribute will be given to this great man and his
contributions. He will be honored posthumously on August 1st, 2013 in the
opening ceremony of the annual American Psychological Association convention
with the ‘APA Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contributions to Psychology’,
which is one of APA’s highest honors.
The first tribute
of the year will be presented in a Symposium at the annual Eastern
Psychological Association conference, held in New York City, in March 2013. It
is hoped that many will attend the various tributes throughout the year, and be
inspired by the remarkable works and character of Albert Ellis PhD.
