All Out!: An Autobiography

Albert Ellis, the renowned creator of one of the most successful forms of psychotherapy - Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) - tells all in this candid autobiography. Ellis recounts the memorable episodes of his life from his earliest years to the present; discusses how he coped with emotional problems at different stages of life; describes his love life; and subjects his own self-description to a ruthlessly honest critique. The heart of Ellis' book is his analysis of the psychological leitmotifs that have appeared again and again throughout his life. A tour de force of stimulating ideas, colourful descriptions of memorable people and events, and straightforward, no-nonsense talk, "All Out!" is the definitive summation of the life and work of one of psychology's most successful thinkers and practitioners.
