Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

La terapia racional emotivo conductual es un metodo elaborado por el doctor Albert Ellis con el fin de superar la ansiedad, la ira, el malestar y cualquier otro sentimiento negativo que pueda experimentar el ser humano. Pero como se aplica todo eso al universo laboral, por ejemplo? Como puede entenderse en un marco social caracterizado precisamente por ese tipo de actitudes? Mediante textos extraidos de sus libros y articulos mas populares y criticamente aclamados, Ellis ofrece un amplio panorama de su pensamiento en estado puro, en un estilo directo y sin florituras, con lo que consigue una obra esencial para todos aquellos que deseen solucionar sus problemas segun las directrices de una de las figuras mas originales e iconoclastas de la psicologia moderna. A lo largo de una carrera que abarca mas de medio siglo, Albert Ellis ha escrito mas de mil articulos y unos setenta libros. Y aunque existen varias antologias de sus textos, ninguna como esta para conocer algunos de sus trabajos mas importantes en el campo de la divulgacion.

Called The Albert Ellis Reader when it was published in English in 1998, this book collects key articles by the founder of rational-emotive behavior therapy, a method for easing anger and anxiety that Ellis here shows can be applied to society at large.

Albert Ellis was a clinical psychologist and a marriage counselor. He was born on September 27, 1913 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ellis originated the rational-emotive therapy movement, which ignores Freudian theories and advocates the belief that emotions come from conscious thought "as well as internalized ideas of which the individual may be unaware." At first, Ellis' books on marital romance and sexuality were criticized by some as being radical and sensational; however, few realized that Ellis was merely laying the groundwork for modern sex education.

Ellis was educated at the City College of New York Downtown and at Columbia University, where he received a Ph.D. in psychology in 1943. He taught for a number of years at Rutgers University, New Jersey, and the Union Graduate School. He was executive director of the Institute for Rational Living, Inc., in New York City. Ellis was the author of Sex and the Liberated Man, Sex Without Guilt, and Sex Without Guilt in the Twenty-First Century.

Despite his health issues, Ellis never stopped working with the assistance of his wife, Australian psychologist Debbie Joffe Ellis. In April 2006, Ellis was hospitalized with pneumonia, and had to stay in either the hospital or the rehabilitation facility. He eventually returned to his home --- the top floor of the Albert Ellis Institute. He died there on July 24, 2007 in his wife's arms. Ellis had authored and co-authored more than 80 books and 1200 articles during his lifetime. He was 93 when he died.
