ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents a comprehensive, succinct and practical overview of Reality Therapy. It discusses a wide variety of applications and emphasises their connections with Choice Theory, the underlying theory that justifies the practice of Reality Therapy. To master Reality Therapy, it is necessary to understand the theory. The book formulates the delivery system that is the standard way for remembering the system first developed by William Glasser MD. It encourages professional mental health workers, educators, clients, students, employers and employees to implement the WDEP formulation straight away. The book shows that Reality Therapy is applicable to individual and group counselling, to schools, and to virtually every human situation. It includes the paradoxical techniques – reframing and prescriptions – which are useful in dealing with resistance, avoidance, excuses and other ineffective client behaviours.
