Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Albert Ellis was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on September 27, 1913, and grew up largely in New York City, where an often difficult childhood and repeated hospital stays encouraged habits of self-reliance and reflection. He first studied business at the City College of New York, graduating in 1934, and spent several years trying to build a career in business and writing before turning decisively toward psychology. He later earned graduate degrees at Columbia University, including a doctorate in clinical psychology, entering the field at a time when psychoanalysis was the dominant model. That early training gave him technical grounding, but it also set up the central break that would define his career.
