This document provides biographical information about Albert Ellis, the founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). It discusses Ellis' childhood, education, early career focusing on writing, and eventual development of REBT. The summary is:
Ellis was born in 1913 in Pittsburgh and raised in New York. He had a difficult childhood but developed a passion for reading and problem-solving. After trying various careers including writing, he turned to psychotherapy and developed REBT which focuses on disputing irrational beliefs that cause emotional disturbances. REBT became his life's work and he published extensively on the topic until his death in 2007.
This is a presentation regarding Albert Ellis' REBT. Ellis' model teaches us to dispute irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ones to experience effective change.
Allport's personality Theory separates all traits into three basic subcategories: Cardinal, Central, and Secondary traits. This trait theory suggests that individual personalities are composed of broad dispositions. It is also based mainly on differences between individuals. The combination and interaction of various traits form a personality that is unique to each individual, this theory focused on identifying and measuring these individual personality characteristics.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.
The historical development of Abnormal Psychology or Psychopathology is worth studying. The progressive as well as conservative steps have contributed to a balanced view of abnormal behavior.

This is sometimes referred to as the Person–Environment Correspondence
Theory. It was originally developed by René Dawis, George England and Lloyd
Lofquist from the University of Minnesota in 1964.
The more closely a person’s abilities (skills, knowledge, experience, attitude,
behaviours, etc.) correspond with the requirements of the role or the
organisation, the more likely it is that they will perform the job well and be
perceived as satisfactory by the employer.
Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, is often associated with this school of thought despite the fact that it was his student Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought.
Functionalism formed as a reaction to the structuralism and was heavily influenced by the work of William James and the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Functionalists sought to explain the mental processes in a more systematic and accurate manner. Rather than focusing on the elements of consciousness, functionalists focused on the purpose of consciousness and behavior. Functionalism also emphasized individual differences, which had a profound impact on education.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Albert Ellis Ellis was born in Pittsburgh in 1913 and raised in New York City. He made the best of a difficult childhood by using his head and becoming, in his words, "a stubborn and pronounced problem-solver." A serious kidney disorder turned his attention from sports to books, and the strife in his family (his parents were divorced when he was 12) led him to work at understanding others.
3. Albert Ellis In junior high school Ellis set his sights on becoming the Great American Novelist. He planned to study accounting in high school and college, make enough money to retire at 30, and write without the pressure of financial need. The Great Depression put an end to his vision, but he made it through college in 1934 with a degree in business administration from the City University of New York.
4. Albert Ellis Ellis devoted most of his spare time to writing short stories, plays, novels, comic poetry, essays and nonfiction books. By the time he was 28, he had finished almost two dozen full-length manuscripts, but had not been able to get them published. He realized his future did not lie in writing fiction, and turned exclusively to nonfiction, to promoting what he called the "sex-family revolution."
5. Albert Ellis At the time Columbia awarded him a doctorate in 1947 Ellis had come to believe that psychoanalysis was the deepest and most effective form of therapy. He decided to undertake a training analysis, and "become an outstanding psychoanalyst the next few years." The psychoanalytic institutes refused to take trainees without M.D.s, but he found an analyst with the Karen Horney group who agreed to work with him. Ellis completed a full analysis and began to practice classical psychoanalysis under his teacher's direction.
6. Albert Ellis By 1955 Ellis had given up psychoanalysis entirely, and instead was concentrating on changing people's behavior by confronting them with their irrational beliefs and persuading them to adopt rational ones. This role was more to Ellis' taste, for he could be more honestly himself. "When I became rational-emotive," he said, "my own personality processes really began to vibrate.“
7. Albert Ellis He published his first book on REBT, How to Live with a Neurotic, in 1957. Two years later he organized the Institute for Rational Living, where he held workshops to teach his principles to other therapists. The Art and Science of Love, his first really successful book, appeared in 1960, and he has now published 54 books and over 600 articles on REBT, sex and marriage. Albert Ellis died of heart and kidney failure July 24, 2007
8. Rational Emotive Behavior TherapyREBT REBT—interrelation of thought, feeling, and behavior Human thinking and emotion are not two different processes—our thinking, emoting, and acting all interact together REBT is based on the concept that emotions and behaviors result from cognitive processes
9. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy REBT is a philosophically-based, humanistic approach that emphasizes individuals’ capacity for creating their own self-enhancing and self-defeating emotions. Ellis borrowed from philosophy. Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher said, “People are not influenced by things but their view of things.” REBT holds that an individual’s belief system affects whether s/he attains maximum pleasure and self-actualization. Happiness is the goal of all human beings. REBT is a theory of how people (who want happiness) can inadvertently create personality and emotional disturbance.
10. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy REBT seeks to help people understand that it is not past or present events that “cause” emotional disturbances It is the individual’s belief system about the event, self, others and the world that cause such disturbances—what Ellis called irrational beliefs
11. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Unhealthy functioning occurs when a person places unrealistic and absolutist demands on self and others—musturbatory thinking (e.g., “I must be able to always get what I want”; “I must be able to do everything perfectly”) These demands often lead to feelings of unhealthy anger, rage, guilt, depression, anxiety or shame
12. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Irrational Beliefs are beliefs that are unrealistic, illogical, absolutist They arise from taking a sensible preference or desire and raising it to a grandiose, absolutist must or demand It is a person’s irrational beliefs that lead to great anxiety, depression, shame, anger, guilt, not the event which he/she is experiencing
13. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy People continuously reindoctrinate themselves with these irrational beliefs, upsetting themselves, making themselves feel miserable Because it is easy for people to make themselves miserable and hold on to self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors, one can overcome such disturbances by vigorously disputing them
14. Definition of Rational Thinking Empirically consistent with reality Logical Goal-facilitating Non-absolutist (flexible) Preferential (expresses a desire not a demand)
15. Definition of Irrational Thinking Can’t be empirically validated and/or is inconsistent w/ confirmable reality Illogical Blocks goals Dogmatic instead of flexible Demand rather than preference (Ellis calls this musturbation)

27. Irrational Beliefs 12.

It is irrational because . . . It is more rational to . . .
28. ABC Model ABC Model A = activating event (actual event, thought or image) B = belief(s) about the event C = emotional and/or behavioral consequence ABC Model is used to help people understand the B-C connection and suggests that people are influenced by what they tell themselves. An ABC form is typically used. People initially only see the A-C connection (John made me angry… I am depressed because I didn’t get my raise)
29. Example of an Activating Event John comes home from work one day and his wife tells him that she is leaving him for someone else. How do you think John feels?
30. Sample Emotions and Thoughts Depression “I’ll never find someone as wonderful as her.” “I’m a loser.” Anger “That *$*%$ has no right to leave. I’ve given her everything.” Happiness “Thank God she is leaving. I will be rid of a big problem.” “Now I can get on with my life.”
