Albert Ellis

[Bohgosity BumaskiL]

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your
problems are your own. You don't blame them on your mother, the
ecology, or the President. You realize that you control your own
destiny.

Did Albert ellis eat meat? I see he lived to 93.

I bet he did eat MEAT as who didn't during that time period?

Or maybe he became a non meat eater at 93? LOL

Did Albert have Psoriasis?

Doesn't say on his wiki page.


I like his photo:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ellis

And his quote (above) is supported by his bio:

[...] Ellis characterized his mother as a self-absorbed woman with a
bipolar disorder. At times, according to Ellis, she was a "bustling
chatterbox who never listened." She would expound on her strong
opinions on most subjects, but rarely provided a factual basis for
these views. Like his father, Ellis' mother was emotionally distant
from her children. Ellis recounted that she was often sleeping when he
left for school and usually not home when he returned. Instead of
reporting feeling bitter, he took on the responsibility of caring for
his siblings. He purchased an alarm clock with his own money and woke
and dressed his younger brother and sister. When the Great Depression
struck, all three children sought work to assist the family. Ellis was
sickly as a child and suffered numerous health problems through his
youth. At the age of five he was hospitalized with a kidney disease.
[4] He was also hospitalized with tonsillitis, which led to a severe
streptococcal infection requiring emergency surgery. He reported that
he had eight hospitalizations between the ages of five and seven, one
of which lasted nearly a year. His parents provided little emotional
support for him during these years, rarely visiting or consoling him.
Ellis stated that he learned to confront his adversities as he had
"developed a growing indifference to that dereliction". Illness was to
follow Ellis throughout his life; at age 40 he developed diabetes.[5]

Ellis had exaggerated fears of speaking in public and during his
adolescence he was extremely shy around women. At age 19, already
showing signs of thinking like a cognitive-behavioral therapist, he
forced himself to talk to 100 women in the Bronx Botanical Gardens
over a period of a month. Even though he did not get a date, he
reported that he desensitized himself to his fear of rejection by
women.

I like my ALBERT BARNES a little BETTER then ELLIS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_C._Barnes

Because... Barnes got rich and did transhumanism and Ellis stuck to
his pyscho therapy
to the living end... LOL

I should say fought to the END.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ellis#Final_years

And bi-polar Ellis mother provided him with the impetus to rise above
his circumstances.

So he should say my mom was a zero and i turned in to a HERO. Thanks
mom!

The day they cut the cord and your breast ran dry... you should have
LEFT home... LOL

As to his over worked DAD, didn't ellis emulate that by working 16
hour days?

The apparent trauma suffered by ELLIS is what created his drive it
appears?

Ellis sticking to his guns brought :

[...] On his 90th birthday in 2003 he received congratulatory messages
from well-known public figures such as then-President George W. Bush,
New York senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton, former
President Bill Clinton, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and
the Dalai Lama, who sent a silk scarf blessed for the occasion.[20]

IMO most psychologist follow this path to figure them selves OUT.

If that is the CASE here.. He did a remarkable job.

Kudo's Albert.

You should have retired and spent more time having SEX... LOL


And not worrying about

The FINAL (solution) Years ... <w>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ellis#Final_years

We all DIE.. at some point in time.

Don't you want it to be special instead of having pneumonia in some
hospital bed?

Sheesh.. you'd think any psycho therapist worth his salt would die
at home in his OWN BED.

So we had the troika of Albert's?

Yep.. we sure did..
