Albert Ellis

Albert Ellis died Tuesday. He is widely considered one of the most influential and important voices in psychotherapy. As the father of cognitive-behavioral therapy, via his Rational Emotive therapy, his influence on the field is unquestionable. No one who reads here would be surprised that I am not a big fan of Ellis. Nevertheless, whenever one of the pioneers and giants in the field dies, it is worth noting.
