Dr. Albert Ellis, creator of Psychology's Cognitive Revolution, changed Psychology and Psychotherapy forever in early 1950s when, disappointed with slowness and frequent ineffectiveness of Freudian psychoanalysis, he emphasized the role thoughts play in creating emotions and behaviors. His form of therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which he initially called Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), is evidence-based and is the foundation of all Cognitive Therapies.
Author of more than 75 books and 1200 articles, Albert Ellis is generally recognized as the world's greatest psychologist and psychotherapist. Among psychologists, he is rated as being more influential than Jung, Freud, or Skinner. More psychotherapists practice his form of therapy than any other.
Millions of individuals have benefited from Albert Ellis' teachings, which, more than psychotherapy, constitute a comprehensive philosophy of living.
Considered by us to be the greatest thinker of all times on causes and cures of human suffering, Albert Ellis faced great adversities in last several years of his life. He was removed from the Board of Albert Ellis Institute, the Institute which he founded and supported all his life. Bravely fighting serious illnessess and injustices, Dr. Ellis left us on July 24, 2007.
Dr. Albert Ellis was a living embodiment of his own philosophy. He tried to apply his theories to himself as honestly as he could, making himself a product of his own ideas as his ideas were a product of him.

Are there any books by Dr. Ellis that the patient can read?
Hi!
Dr Ellis developed REBT as a psychotherapy as well as a philosophy of life. He wrote several self-help books (along with books for professionals), which can be read by the persons seeking help. These books are very helpful, in fact there is evidence that people derive great help from books, something known as bibliotherapy.
Among his self-help books,I particularly like: A guide to personal happiness, How to stubbornly refuse to make yourself miserable about anything, yes anything!, How to make yourself happy and remarkably less disturbable, Anger: how to live with and without it, Albert Ellis Reader, and A guide to rational living.
If you please tell me for which kind of problem you want to read his books, I may be able to find a book more specifically.
Almost complete list of Ellis' books is available at albert-ellis-friends.net.
Best wishes,
Sanjay
