Abstract

“The only thing that is happening to you is that you are awfulizing,” Ellis said to his clients. Albert Ellis (Pittsburgh, 1913 - Manhattan, 2007) was the creator of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) with which he revolutionized the field of Psychology by being the first one to develop a model of psychotherapeutic intervention with a cognitive approach. Ellis used his ironic sense of humor teaching his clients to laugh at themselves in order to relativize their own problems and begin to confront them from a less dramatic and irrational perspective.
