ELLIS WAS A CONSTRUCTIVIST AND SOFT DETERMINIST
Correct Answers This means that individuals have some choice in their
lives, but that inherited or innate potentials also exert substantial
influence. Humans are biologically programmed (ellis at one point said
80%), but personally responsible for their own behavior.

should be long range hedonists, implying that the basic human
motivation is to obtain pleasure and avoid pain.

emotions is WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE A EVENT.

deserves to suffer."
