About the author
Albert Ellis
243Ìýbooks433ÌýfollowersAlbert Ellis was an American psychologist who in 1955 developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). He held M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from Columbia University and American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). He also founded and was the President of the New York City-based Albert Ellis Institute for decades.
He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and the founder of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Based on a 1982 professional survey of USA and Canadian psychologists, he was considered as the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third).

Benim değer verdiğim bir terapi yöntemi olan Rasyonel Emotif Davranışçı Terapi'nin terapist rehberini okumak, "Bazı konularda bakış açımı genişletti, yönteme hakim olmaya beni bir adım daha yaklaştırdı" diyebilirim. Bu kitap (bir rehber olduğu için) tek seferde bitirilebilecek bir kitap değil, daha sonra defalarca karıştıracağımdan eminim.

Ca psihoterapeut în formare și ca individ sensibil la estetica, coerența, acuratețea sintactică și, în general, la calitatea unui material scris, nu am fost vreodată în situația de a citi un text mai prost decât această traducere ridicolă a Laviniei Urian. Nu discutăm doar despre inadvertențe derivate din lipsa de familiaritate a traducătoarei cu abordarea REBT (sau cu psihologia ca ansamblu), ci despre o stângăcie patetică în utilizarea cu sens a limbii române, despre cuvinte folosite fără vreo noimă semantică, despre fraze transpuse în limba română mai degrabă ca succesiuni de cuvinte traduse din engleză, mentinând ordinea sintactică din limba originală în detrimentul coerenței.
Conținutul cărții, deși tratează aspectele fundamentale ale REBT cu o granulație mai mare decât aș fi sperat, e o resursă decentă, dar nu merită efortul de a-l lectura în acest format de proiect făcut peste noapte în Google Translate.

As much as I dislike my first impressions of the the man (Ellis) and post-modern philosophy, this seems a solid and well adaptive approach (seemingly adaptive and mostly compatible to my God fearing ideals as well).

Okay-ish cartea. Traducerea m-a enervat în multe părți. Cred că trebuia revizuită cartea tradusă de un psihoterapeut cognitiv-comportamental sau care să știe puțin care-i treaba cu REBT-ul să verifice termenii și cum sunt formulate propozițiile. Plus că unele exemple pentru “cât de bun� e REBT-ul în comparație cu alte terapii expirate, erau cam dubioase și chiar questionable.

Honest, straight forward practicable information written in a way that makes this therapeutic style accessible to everyone. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it as a good recourse in any personal library.

Really good book that helps to discover and change irrational beliefs to rational ones. AxB=C (Action x Beliefs = Consequences). Alber Ellis helps to understand that human's mind can not describe itself objectively - it needs feedback from outside.

Extremely helpful in the development of my theoretical orientation/clinical counseling skills.
