Description

In this audio CD, Dr. Albert Ellis discusses some of the commonalities that often cause individuals to be unhappy. He argues that as humans, we are both biologically and sociologically prone to ways of thinking and behaving that block us from being happy. When human beings experience unhappiness, they often look for causes that are exclusively external (undesirable aspects life), and are not aware that there are also internal causes (irrational thought processes) for their unhappiness.Albert Ellis was an American psychologist who in 1955 developed rational emotive behavior therapy. He held M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from Columbia University and founded and was the president and president emeritus of the New York City-based Albert Ellis Institute. He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and the founder of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Based on a 1982 professional survey of U.S. and Canadian psychologists, he was considered as the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third).REBT is one of the first and foremost forms of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). There is empirical evidence that CBT is effective for the treatment of a variety of problems, including mood, anxiety, personality, eating, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders.*TCG* Exclusive.
