Book excerpt: In this companion volume to the bestselling Choice Theory, Dr. William Glasser and his wife, Carleen Glasser, have imagined typical conversations in real-life situations--between parent and child, two partners in a relationship, teacher and student, and boss and employee. On the left-hand page is a typical controlling order or threat, and on the right a more reasonable version, using choice theory, which is more likely to get a favorable response from the child, lover, student, or employee. Through these examples, the principles of choice theory come alive.

Book excerpt: Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness. For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship–destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We make choices all the time - about trivial matters, about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy? This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts. It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources.

Book excerpt: Choice Theory/Reality Therapy Treatment Planning describes how to write a theory-driven treatment plan, compatible with person-centered recovery planning principles and satisfy the expectations of insurance companies. Designed to be a primer for mental health practitioners desiring from a choice theory /reality therapy perspective, the author describes how to conceptualize a case study from a choice theory lens and how to implement a treatment plan using reality therapy. Formerly entitled, Treatment Planning from a Reality Therapy Perspective, this third edition includes three new chapters, including one on case conceptualization, integrating choice theory /reality therapy with person-centered recovery planning, and a case study example with a case conceptualization, treatment plan, and a description of the treatment plan implementation. Author Michael H. Fulkerson provides an explanation of how choice theory /reality therapy treatment planning differs from traditional treatment planning models, which are usually bsed on the medical model and/or external control psychology. He offers a synopsis of his experience and research using reality therapy as a treatment modality, presents a review of different treatment models and compares them to reality therapy, provides examples of how to write treatment plans from a public health model rather than a medical model, covers documentation of progress notes, and discusses case studies.
