REBT for People with
Co-Occuring Problems:
Albert Ellis in the Wilds of Arizona
by Emmett Velten, PhD & Patricia
E. Penn, PhD
With Inspiration from the Real Albert Ellis
Perhaps you think Albert Ellis's REBT (Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy) involves the mindless
but forceful repetition of a few simple
concepts. This book should change your mind. . .
. Just as medical illustrations can be a better
teaching tool than actual photos, the authors'
constructed session transcripts are an excellent
tool for teaching the subtleties of REBT,
particularly as applied to individuals with
serious and combined substance and mental health
problems. The transcripts are interspersed with
highly helpful explanations of what is happening
in the sessions and how it is being responded
to. 464 Pages. Published in 2010.

Optimal Aging: Get Over
Getting Older
by Albert Ellis, PhD & Emmett
Velten, PhD
Ellis, founder of Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and the author
of over 50 books, and Velten, a psychotherapist
in private practice who teaches at the
University of California, San Francisco, do not
deny that there are real challenges to aging.
Regrets about the past, fears of declining
health, loss of loved ones, financial concerns,
and retirement options are all problems that
cause unhappiness as we age. The authors argue,
however, that such attitudes are not based on
reality but result from fear of what aging might
be. Using personal anecdotes and other examples,
many humorous, they illustrate how patients have
applied the authors' realistic ideas to change
behaviors, set new goals, and enjoy life as they
grow older.

When AA Doesn't Work for You:
Rational Steps to Quitting Alchohol
by Albert Ellis, PhD & Emmett Velten, PhD
This highly effective book deals with the thoughts and emotions of the problem drinker,
with step-by-step formulas to discover, understand, and change them.
Many methods have been devised to help people quit their problem drinking and
change their lives, but these programs do not work for everyone.
When AA Doesn't Work For You is the first book that applies the powerful insights of rational
emotive behavior therapy specifically to recovery from problem drinking.
REBT is truly a rational guide to
quitting alcohol. This book covers the entire range of problem drinking. It shows readers how to know when
they have a drinking problem, how to understand and eliminate denial, and why they drink too much.

Under the Influence:
Reflections of Albert Ellis in the Work of
Others
by Emmett Velten, ed.
With prominent
contributors—including Albert Ellis, considered
the most famous living psychologist and
developer of the original cognitive behavior
therapy—this collection of essays establishes
the primacy of Ellis's writings on a number of
topics in psychotherapy. It brings down to earth
the claims of some of the more profound
error-makers and suggests the plausible, rather
than the claimed, source of their insights and
their real place in the psychotherapy family
tree. Discussions on treatment of anxiety
disorders, marital therapy, biological
influences, evolutionary psychology, dialectical
behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment
therapy are included. Contributors include
Emmett Velten, Ricks Warren, and Diana R.
Richman.

Albert Ellis: American
Revolutionary (Hard Cover)
by Emmett Velten, PhD
with an introduction by David Burns, MD
Focusing on Albert Ellis's
formulation of the key concepts of Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy, the original form of
cognitive-behavioral therapy, this
unconventional biography describes how the
techniques he devised to deal with his personal
problems, such as severe illnesses, stage
fright, and pathological shyness, directly
affected his professional theories and
techniques. Also covered are Ellis's
decades-long struggles to promote his theories
and the tremendous resistance to those theories
in the psychological and psychiatric
establishments. Ellis's revolutionary political
activites as a young man are described at
length, as well as his famous feud with Ayn
Rand, his numerous contributions to the field of
sexology, his courageous battles in the 1950s
and 1960s against the forces of sexual
repression, and his relationships with such
notable figures as Alfred Kinsey, Lenny Bruce,
and Paul Kantner.
