Beschreibung | Albert Ellis (27. September 1913 - 24. Juli 2007) war ein amerikanischer Psychologe und Psychotherapeut, der die rational-emotive Verhaltenstherapie (REBT) begründete. Er erwarb einen MA und einen PhD in klinischer Psychologie an der Columbia University und wurde vom American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) zertifiziert. Außerdem gründete er das Albert Ellis Institute in New York City und war dessen Präsident. Er gilt allgemein als einer der Begründer des kognitiv-revolutionären Paradigmenwechsels in der Psychotherapie und als früher Befürworter und Entwickler der kognitiv-behavioralen Therapien. |
The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.
I hope to die in the saddle seat.
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.
People got insights into what was bothering them, but they hardly did a damn thing to change.
We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.
There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.
People could rationally decide that prolonged relationships take up too much time and effort and that they'd much rather do other kinds of things. But most people are afraid of rejection.
I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.
