TOC07 Reality Therapy

Reality therapy is based on the idea that all humans have fundamental needs and wants and the ability to control choices made. Instead of seeing the outside world as controlling our actions, reality therapists suggest that the outside world is a source of information we can choose to act on. Reality therapists work with clients collaboratively to decide whether different choices need to be made to meet client goals. This course will discuss the underpinnings of reality therapy, essential elements of the counseling relationship, therapeutic techniques, and the relevance of reality therapy in diverse populations.
