Summary
Evolving in stages, the work of Albert Ellis moved from a focus on sexual liberty to the broader issues involved in living with neurotic people. He eclipsed Freud in quoted popularity among therapists as his thinking evolved into constructivism while maintaining the basic theoretical constructs of rational-emotive behavioral theory. Without question, Ellis led the way from the psychoanalytic model to an approach in which results were subject to meaningful measurement.
