All Out!

Ellis (1913-2007), the influential psychologist/sex therapist who developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, candidly discusses his methods for coping with illness and emotional problems in childhood, his eventful love life, key influences, and dispute with the Albert Ellis Institute for Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy that he founded. Family photos include those of his wife Debbie Joffe Ellis, who practices REBT and wrote the book's final chapter. The autobiography includes his own critiques of several of his chapters, a letter by New York Mayor Bloomberg on his passing, and an Ellis bibliography.
