Reality Therapy
A New Approach to Psychiatry
Book • 1965
Reality Therapy, developed by William Glasser, is a therapeutic approach that differs from conventional psychiatry and psychoanalysis.
It emphasizes realism, responsibility, and the concept of right-and-wrong, rather than mental disorders.
The therapy focuses on the present and the individual's ability to make choices that fulfill their basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom or independence, and fun/pleasure.
It does not delve into past experiences but instead encourages clients to take responsibility for their current actions and decisions.
Key techniques include the WDEP system (wants, doing, evaluation, and planning), goal-setting, active listening, and empathy to foster a supportive therapeutic environment.
