Reality therapy in the classroom

Abstract

The impetus for this thesis was a presentation Dr. William Glasser gave in Halifax in the Fall of 1996. It was at that time I first heard Dr. Glasser expand upon his theories of Choice Theory (1998) and Reality Therapy (1965).

This thesis will explore in depth the concepts and practice of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy and will provide both a theory-based insight and a practical application of the theory.

It is the aim of this thesis not only to explore the ideas and principles of Choice Theory/Reality Therapy but also to provide a step by step process to help individuals understand why and how they are responsible for their own actions. Upon completion of this thesis, the reader will have been shown that not only are they responsible for their own actions and decisions but that they also have a choice.
