2021 Application

The Albert Ellis Institute is pleased to announce the annual Albert Ellis Award for Research

This award will be granted to the top paper on empirical research focused on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy published in a scientific journal during 2020-2021. The principal author or his/her designee (i.e., co-authors and/or other professionals) will be invited to attend without fee AEI’s professional practica (i.e., Primary and Advanced practica in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) in June, 2021. (see here: http://albertellis.org/professional-rebt-cbt/trainings/).

The selection will be decided by a scientific committee comprised of the Director of Research (Professor, Daniel David, Ph.D.), Director of Professional Education (Professor, Raymond DiGiuseppe, Ph.D.), the Director of the Albert Ellis Institute (Kristene A. Doyle, Ph.D.), and two board members of the Albert Ellis Institute (to be appointed on a year-to-year basis). The award will be announced on the Albert Ellis Institute’s website in April, 2021. The key criterion of the selection is an objective one, that is, the impact factor of the journals - the article published in the journal with the highest impact factor has the greatest likelihood of being selected. Any member of the scientific committee who may have a conflict of interest will abstain from the final vote.

Rational emotive behavior therapy is the foundational form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based theory and therapy, striving to develop all phases continuously through advanced exploratory/basic/fundamental, translational, and applied research.

Application deadline March 1, 2021.
