5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive text on cognitive-behavior therapy., July 9, 1998
The author has written the most lucid and powerful treatise dealing with the field of cognitive-behavior therapy in his work, "Reason and Emotion in Psychotherapy". He continues to display his uncanny knack for communicating profound theories in plain, simple English that anyone can understand. This is a "must" read for professionals and laypeople alike who have an interest in knowing the most recent ideas and practices of the grandfather of cognitive-behavior therapy, Albert Ellis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seminal work of founder of rational emotive therapy, September 22, 1997
By A Customer
This is the seminal book about the development and application of rational emotive therapy. At some point, it was ranked one the the ten most influential books. Ellis' assesses the deficencies in traditional psychotherapy he was trained to practice and his drive to create rational emotive therapy in an insightful and honest evaulation. I do not know if many would be as honest or as creative as he. Each chapter adds significant value towards building the principles of RET. This is a book that changed the way I think about emotion and cognition. Many similar books are watered down, popular versions. It's insightful and revealing to go to the source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, March 4, 2002
By Serge Heidegger (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Its stoicism for the 21st century folks. If only Socrates could see us today, still having everyone kidding themselves about what happiness is and then complaining when someone actually makes them ask the question what is happiness.

Of course, they killed Socrates, and they equally hate Ellis.

We don't want too many people to follow this stuff, we need most people to be mindless drones.

Ahh, psychology. Religion for the next millenium. All we have to do is dupe the poor slobs and they will do whatever we want.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ellis is innovative but extremely dogmatic.
Ellis is extraordinarily repetitive. If you read one chapter it is as good as having read the entire book; actually, it is as good as having read all of his books. Read more
