This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) has evolved and how it might be used in their practice. Created in the 95 s by the legendary Albert Ellis, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) teaches clients to challenge their irrational thinking. REBT is based on the simple idea that it is not external circumstances that make a person happy or unhappy, but rather internal thoughts about events or oneself. Thinking, feeling, and behavior are seen as linked and influencing one another. Because changing one's thinking is usually the simplest tactic in a given situation, it tends to be the focus of therapy, alongside the humanistic core REBT philosophies of unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other-acceptance, and unconditional life-acceptance.

The Homosexual In America: A Subjective Approach by Donald Webster Cory is a comprehensive exploration of the experiences and struggles of homosexuals in America. The author takes a subjective approach to the topic, drawing on his own experiences as a gay man to provide a unique perspective on the issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of homosexuality in America, the legal and social barriers faced by homosexuals, and the psychological and emotional impact of being gay in a society that often stigmatizes and marginalizes LGBTQ+ individuals. Cory also examines the role of religion and the media in shaping public attitudes towards homosexuality, and offers insights into the ways in which the gay rights movement has evolved over time.Throughout the book, Cory emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding in creating a more inclusive and accepting society. He argues that while progress has been made in recent years, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect regardless of their sexual orientation.Overall, The Homosexual In America: A Subjective Approach is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of an important and timely topic. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in America, and the ongoing struggle for equality and acceptance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This candid autobiography, the last work by renowned psychologist Albert Ellis, is a tour de force of stimulating ideas, colorful descriptions of memorable people and events, and straightforward, no-nonsense talk. Ellis, the creator of one of the most successful forms of psychotherapy—Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)—recounts the memorable episodes of his life; discusses how he coped with emotional problems at different stages of life; describes his love life; and subjects his own self-description to a ruthlessly honest critique. The heart of Ellis's book is his analysis of the psychological leitmotifs that have appeared again and again throughout his life. He describes the aim of this autobiography as follows: "As far as I can, I shall present my bad and good, stupid and intelligent, weak and strong points. Why? Because, following H. G. Wells's recommendation, I want to go as all-out as I can. I want to acknowledge my idiocies—and use REBT to feel sorry about but unashamed of them. I want to make the point—again a central tenet of REBT—that all humans are fabulously fallible—including, of course, me. We have no real choice about this, but we can unconditionally accept ourselves—our so-called essence or being—with our fallibility. That will momentously help us, probably encourage us to acquire unconditional self-acceptance (USA) and possibly inspire other people to give it to themselves, too." With a concluding chapter by Ellis's widow, Debbie Joffe Ellis, describing the final years of his life, this is the definitive summation of the life and work of one of psychology's most successful thinkers and practitioners.
