Posted on January 10, 2010 by Dan. Albert Ellis (1913-2007) is known as the grandfather of cognitive behavior therapy. In 1955, he developed rational emotive therapy or better known as rational emotive behavior therapy of REBT from combining philosophical, humanistic and behavioral therapy.
Ellisâs theory is designed to help people rationalise or make unproblematic clientâs cognitive patterns by placing irrational thoughts or problematic thoughts at the centre of clientâs emotional-behavioural problems designed to help clients accept the uncertainty of their future.llis concluded that many philosophers shared the view that events do not disturb people but their view of these events do. From this philosophical logic, Ellis decided to use this as the basis of his own approach, which became known as Relative Emotional Behavioural Therapy (REBT).
