BOARD REINSTATEMENT

A New York State Supreme Court judge ruled on Monday that Albert Ellis was improperly ousted from the board of the psychotherapy institute he founded nearly 50 year ago, reports The New York Times. The board of the Albert Ellis Institute voted to remove Dr. Ellis from the board at a meeting in September, saying his annual $500,000 medical expenses are too excessive and threatens the organization’s tax-exempt status. The judge ruled Dr. Ellis did not have enough notice or the opportunity to defend himself.
