A Tribute To Albert Ellis
In August 2007, The American Psychological Association held its 115th annual convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
A major event at the convention was a tribute to Dr. Albert Ellis. Debbie Joffe-Ellis spoke of her years with Al and her plans to carry on the legacy of his work. Jon Carlson chaired a panel of distinguished speakers who paid tribute to the role Albert Ellis played in their professional and private lives.
