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.
