Publisher's Synopsis
Albert Ellis was one of the most original and influential figures in modern psychology and a founder of the cognitive behavioural movement. In 23 chapters, editors James McMahon and Ann Vernon trace the evolution of Ellis' philosophy and methodology, from its Freudian roots to present-day cognitive behaviour therapy. Using Ellis' own writings, as well as collaborations with other authors, Albert Ellis: Evolution of a Revolution covers topics ranging from conquering anxiety to the origins of rational-emotive psychotherapy and more.
