THERAPY

In Reality Therapy, people are seen as inner and practically directed. The influence of the past experiences or environmental factors is not ignored, as they can play a decisive role in the client’s life.

Reality Therapy can be effectively applied to the care and rehabilitation of various client groups. It is especially well suited for dealing with self-destructive behaviours. Reality Therapy is also applied to the treatment of addictions, to relationship building, to victim-offender mediation and to social work. Good results have been reached with children and young people suffering from emotional and behavioural problems. Reality Therapy is a safe, effective and flexible tool to be applied to counselling and therapy.

It is important that the therapist can find a way to connect with the client. The aim is to create a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client. The therapist helps the client to evaluate the effectiveness of his or her behaviour. Active and effective participation is an important part of the counselling.

Teaching the basic idea and concepts of Choice Theory to the client is an essential part of Reality Therapy.
