| | An historic meeting of the minds |
 | | In fact, the repartee between Aaron T. Beck, MD, and Albert Ellis, PhD, at the session, "On therapy--a dialogue with Aaron T. Beck and Albert Ellis," captivated an overflowing room of admirers at APA's 2000 Annual Convention in Washington, D.C., Aug. 48. |
 | | One concept that has influenced Beck is "the whole idea of psychological determinism," he said. |
 | | In a session moderated by APA Past President Frank Farley, PhD, the two living legends of therapy tackled topics such as pairing prescriptions with Beck's cognitive therapy and Ellis's rational-emotive behavior therapy, the value of Freud's theories and feelings of doubt about their life's work. |
