ALBERT ELLIS, 93 Psychotherapy innovator

Albert Ellis, one of the most provocative figures in modern psychology and the founder of a renowned psychotherapy institute, died Tuesday in New York of kidney and heart failure after a long illness.

In the 1950s, Dr. Ellis invented what he called rational emotive behavior therapy, which stresses that patients can improve their lives by taking control of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.
