Abrams

Mike Abrams (born July 16, 1953) is an American psychologist and co-author with Albert Ellis of several works on Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.  He was instrumental in the formalisation of Ellis' model of personality while coauthoring Ellis's only college textbook. Abrams research with Ellis into Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapies (CBT) led him to propose that all successful psychotherapies were actually peforming CBT - irrespective of their stated theoretical orientation [1]After Ellis' death Abrams continued Ellis' work on Sexuality taking an evolutionay perspective to love and intimacy [2].

 Prior to his work with Ellis, Abrams worked with people suffering from life threatening illnesses and was the first non-gay psychologist to volunteer to counsel people with AIDS at the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York[3] Abrams currently practices in New Jersey and New York City[4]

He is married to textbook coauthor and long-term collaborator Lidia Abrams
