Abstract
This paper examines two modern day theorists that have had a major impact on psychology--Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck. Ellis is known as the founder of rational-emotive therapy and Beck is known as the founder of cognitive therapy. The paper evaluates how both Ellis and Beck are inspirational for their approaches to therapy, for the therapies they pioneered and for the impact these therapies have had. It considers both the approaches and the therapies of Ellis and Beck in turn.
From the Paper
"Ellis's theory is based on the belief that psychological problems are caused by irrational beliefs that people have gained by some experience in the past. These irrational beliefs cause people to overreact to situations. In one work describing how the theory is applied, Ellis offers the example of a woman who is rejected by her partner. According to Ellis, if the woman has emotional difficulties she responds to this rejection in an excessive way. Instead of thinking that it is undesirable to be rejected she believes she is a worthless person because she is rejected and believes that she will never be accepted by anyone (Ellis, 1979). To deal with these emotional problems, Ellis proposed rational-emotive therapy. This therapy is based on the idea that the therapist's role is to teach the individual to think logically. Unlike many therapists, Ellis did not believe that the patient should guide their own thinking."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Albert Ellis falls under the school of thought of cognitivists and how Ellis' rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) is a misnomer suggestive of a behaviorist orientation of his therapeutic methods. The paper then examines how, unlike the behavioralists' perspective, Ellis' ideas do not dwell on behaviors per se, but rather on the cognitive processes (i.e. irrational beliefs), which can give rise to these behaviors.
Outline:
School of Thought
Contributions to Personality Psychology
Occurrences During the Individual's Lifetime
Application in the Workplace
From the Paper
"Ellis' pragmatic perspective on therapy may draw heavily from his experiences growing up and working prior to and during the Great Depression. Growing up, Ellis was a sickly child, suffering from a chronic kidney disease that forced him to be more bedridden than physically active. In spite of this, he was also forced to work, along with his siblings in order to help the rest of his family. In spite of these life circumstances, Ellis did not allow them to negatively influence him (Dobkin, 2005). As he grew up, other seemingly frustrating life circumstances such as his short-lived stint as an entrepreneur and prolific, albeit unpublished fiction writer and the Great Depression failed to deter him from pursuing the latter as an equally prolific non-fiction writer, which would eventually lead to his pursuit of counseling as an interest and training under the psychoanalytic school of thought (Boeree, 2006)."

From the Paper
"Abraham H. Maslow, Albert Ellis, and Carl Gustav Jung provide theories of human nature which present the client as capable of self-discovery and actualization, The three theorists regard the human being as capable of personal happiness without intensive therapeutic counseling. The counselor is beneficial as a source of insight, but cannot "cure" the client from without. Maslow, Ellis, and Jung each had individual methodologies by which the client could achieve personal fulfillment, yet they are alike in their belief that a person need not be subject to unconscious, irrational forces against one's will.
Jung believed that alchemy, astrology, Buddhism, certain primitive rituals and religions, mythology, and even psychotic hallucinations can shed light on personality. Such experiences, although not necessarily rational, are beneficial to an ... "

Abstract
This paper evaluates the theories of Alder and Ellis by emphasizing what makes each theory a benefit or detriment to psychoanalysis. The author points out that both theories deserve merit.

From the Paper
"Psychologists have developed a number of interesting theories over time regarding psychotherapy that have been utilized throughout society. Two experts in this field, Adler and Ellis, have been recognized for their efforts, and their diverse beliefs of the meaning of psychotherapy are worth mention and analysis. The Adler model of Individual Psychology and the Ellis model of REBT are of considerable importance to the understanding of how psychotherapy is important to the treatment of various disorders and psychological problems. The following discussion will evaluate these theories in greater detail, emphasizing the effectiveness of each theory and its relevance to treatment options in psychotherapy."

Abstract
Between the years 1892 and 1954 Ellis Island was the veritable headquarters of immigration and naturalization district in the U.S. The island itself was first settled by Dutch colonists and called Oyster Island, for self-evident reasons. This paper will take a brief look at the immigration process through Ellis Island. To develop a better understanding of the immigration process, some of the incentives immigrants faced when deciding to leave their home countries will be brought to light and some of the experiences faced by individuals and their families will also be included as vignettes. In the final analysis it will be clear that Ellis Island, reflecting as it does much of America's immigration at large, has a bittersweet history.

?Founding Brothers? by Joseph J. Ellis, 2002.

Abstract
A discussion of the book ?Founding Brothers? by Joseph J. Ellis in which the American Revolution is seen through the points of view of six different prominent figures (Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Madison, Hamilton and Franklin). The paper analyzes each chapter (which looks at a different event from the eyes of different personality) in turn.
From the Paper
"The fifth chapter and the sixth chapter take a look at the entwined lives of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. This book shows Jefferson as a scheming politician who believed in the theory that the ends justify the means. Therefore he wore a mask at all the times. He was a two faced man who on the face of John Adams professed deep friendship, but on the back he had no qualms in giving a stab. This chapter is a rude awakening to the fans of Thomas Jefferson as Ellis shows him to be a man more involved in showing off a character which will be revered for ages but at the same time being involved in backstabbing of the unassuming, and therefore inadequate, Adams."

Abstract
Ellis Island was the first stop for immigrants to the United States in the early 20th century. This paper examines a book which deals with the stories of people who passed through this island. It provides great insight into the life of the immigrants, their reasons for leaving their country and what they hoped to achieve in America. The writer of this paper examines the author's use of interviews as a form of documentation.
From the Paper
"The author calls Ellis Island a "America's slender thread for the peopling of the nation" (Coan xiii), and his interviews portray just a few of the thousands of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island on their way to a better life. "By and large, they came from nondescript farm villages and hamlets tucked away in forgotten European provinces and sleepy border towns routinely compromised by twisted ideology, plunder, and hate" (Coan xvii). Coan interviews several of these people who came to America, to find out their reasons for coming, and more about their lives. He also interviewed some of the employees who had worked on the island."

Postmodernism: Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho", 2006.
This paper examines Bret Easton Ellis' postmodern novel "American Psycho" to evaluate a quotation from French philosopher Jean Baudrillard.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jean Baudrillard's quotation refers to the commitment of contemporary American fiction to the pleasures and anxieties of consumer culture. The author states that this behavior is most fully exemplified in Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho" through his protagonist Patrick Bateman. The paper points out that the form of postmodernist texts, such as "American Psycho", opposes meta-narratives, which are the traditional method of writing. The author relates that the book's constant suggestion of boredom is often seen in other post modern art forms, such as the music of Talking Heads. The paper illuminates that Baudrillard's reference to "all life" is an over-generalization just as Patrick Bateman's conduct positions him at an extreme perimeter. The author concludes "American Psycho" contains a pertinent response to Baudrillard's resigned allusion to superficiality and the way in which many of people, not only psychopaths, actually live their lives.
From the Paper
"Baudrillard's statement seems to have an air of ennui, or resignation, suggesting perhaps, that we have become immune to the reality of our emotions, being smothered (or embosomed, perhaps), by globalization. Notwithstanding Baudrillard's eminent status, (his Wikipedia page lists his academic achievements at some length), it would ill behoove us, as critics, to simply accept that this is, quite simply how things are, and that we might as well get used to it. Bateman, for this critic, gives the lie to Baudrillard's quote, which was originally published in his "Selected Writings" in 1988."

"American Psycho" by Brett Easton Ellis, 1992.

From the Paper
"The novel American Psycho, by Brett Easton Ellis, has raised a great deal of controversy because of its graphic depictions of violence. The story is about an investment banker named Patrick Bateman who is secretly a psychotic murderer. Using the techniques of "black humor," Ellis describes many of Bateman's tortures and slayings in intricate detail. Despite Bateman's daring escapades, he is never caught. In fact, some of the black humor of the novel centers around Bateman's frequent confessions which are utterly ignored by his friends. In one passage, for example, Bateman looks an acquaintance right in the face and admits that he has killed and tortured many people.. However, perhaps because the confession is shockingly unbelievable, the information goes unacknowledged. "

From the Paper
"Forging of new governmental institutions and policy were the primary themes of affairs in the early American republic. A foreign policy was developed that regulated American relations with foreign powers. Most contentious was the French-British issue. Attitudes regarding each power varied by region, with New England tending to favor amicable relations with Britain more so than the rest of the nation. Regionalism also divided the nation in areas of economic policy; more industry and shipping based New England favored a proactive national government that would protect its interests from foreign competition. The structure of government was also not completely finalized. Although the Constitution provided a framework for government, governmental institutions hardly remained static after ratification of the Constitution. Among the most significant developments was the growth of political parties. Condemned by George Washington as a morally reprehensible faction bent on overthrowing the government and destroying the Constitution, the Republicans were hardly valued as a ?loyal opposition? during the early years of government under the constitution. Later, political parties became valued as effective interest aggregators. Jefferson?s victory in the election of 1800 was also a victory of the Republican Party over the Federalists, not just over President Adams. However, the most significant controversy regarding governmental institutions was that concerning the judiciary. The question of the judiciary became the dominant issue during President Jefferson?s administration. Attitudes toward the judiciary reflected the historical partisanship of the judiciary, the desire for spoils, as well as contemporary partisan and ideological differences."

Theories of Psychotherapy.
This paper compares two theories of psychotherapy: Joseph Weiss' Control Theory versus Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy.
2,645 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 79.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the Freudian model did not fit all patients into in the manifestation phase or, in many cases, the circumstances surrounding their resolution; psychoanalysts Joseph Weiss and Aaron Beck devised alternative therapy theories. The author points out that Weiss' Control Theory combines the origins of psychological pathology with issues of just "how" the patient interacts within therapy to form a more useful and therapeutically successful model. The paper relates that Aaron Beck, in his work treating patients suffering from depression, devised another theory, known as "Cognitive Behavioral Theory", in which the patient's internal thoughts, belief system, attitudes and perceptions influence both the emotional characteristics of the patient and the strength under which the depressed patient struggles.

From the Paper
"If, as Weiss asserts, the patient is imbibed with a subconscious drive to master his or her psychopathology, then the role of the therapist in working with the patient is to uncover his or her patient's specific and individual internal "plan" to resolve their issues. In so doing, the therapist becomes a kind of facilitator, allowing the patient's internal drive toward health to resolve the problem. In order for the therapist to be an effective facilitator, however, he or she must clearly understand the issues of "control and mastery" involved."
