Counselling with Reality Therapy, Second Edition
Robert E. Wubbolding & John Brickell
This practical resource is a follow-on from the hugely successful Counselling with Reality Therapy. The second edition provides a jargon-free and practical explanation of a theory and method of counseling which can be used in any therapeutic relationship. It presents a comprehensive, succinct and practical overview of Reality Therapy and also contains ideas which can be used by parents, spouses, partners, children, family and anyone wishing for more satisfying relationships. This book forms an easy-to-use introduction to this approach and includes:
- A discussion of the concepts behind reality therapy, choice theory, the counseling environment, procedures and special applications
- Information on how this approach has a wide application, including developing responsibility, motivation, self-esteem, improving relationships, dealing with discipline and problems and addictions
- Details of how this approach can be used in schools, by the probation and prison services, at work, within clinics and the health service and in many other areas where counseling is applicable.
