Chapter 11 was about how a reality therapist is like a teacher, a mentor, and a model, confronting clients in ways that thelp them evaluate what they are doing and whether their behavior is fulfilling their basic needs without them harming themselves or others. This therapy helps the client to make better and more effective choices and gain more effective controls by focusing on what the client is able and willing to do in the present to change their behaviors. I like this type of therapy because it helps a client to make better decisions, and improve their relationship with others.
After reading chapter 11, it talks about how the client basically acts the way they do because of the lack of people in their lives or the type of relationship they have with one. I like the total behavior because it teaches that all behavior is made up of four inseparable but distinct components. Acting,thinking feeling, and physiology. This behavior is purposeful because it is designed to close the gap between what we want and what we perceive we are getting. I don't agree with the book when it say's"When people choose misery by developing a range of "Paining" behaviors,it is because these are the best behaviors they are able to devise at the time,and thee behaviors often gives them what they want. I don't think just because someone is going through something and acting out should be able to get what they want because after a matter of time they will get to use to it.
in response to Shaniece, I agree with what you said that sometimes people act out because they lacked something in their life. For example some of the people that go around shooting people probably do so because they didn't experience love or they were never cared for. But I disagree with this type of therapy because I don't believe that all problems come from a relationship that a person is in. I think sometimes people create their own problems and then blame others.
In response to kam, I like how the chapter says it like a teacher, mentor,and a model because i feel like if the client has a positive person in there life to help them get on the right track and guide them through things it may may things a lot easier on them selves and there situation also. After having a positive person in there life it may help them with many upcoming situations.
In response to Kambaja,I agree with you that reality therapy helps the client to make better and more effective choices and gain more effective controls by focusing on what the client is able and willing to do in the present to change their behaviors. i also agree with you this therapy do let you make better decisions.
In chapter 11 it talks about Reality Therapy. The Reality therapists believe the underlying problem of most clients is the same, they are either involved in present unsatisfying relationship.Reality Therapy provides a delivery system for helping individuals take more effective control of their lives.A choice theory is the theoretical basic for reality therapy,it explains why and how we function. The choice theory posits that we are not born blank slates waiting to be externally motivated by force in the world around us.Some of the characteristics of Reality Therapy it focuses quickly on the unsatisfying relationship or the lack of a relationship and which is often cause of clients problems.
In response to Jeff, I also like this therapy for the reason that it helps with different types of relationships. because I believe people do mostly lack something from their relationships with family, friends, ex. as an adult and child and that sometimes causes issues.
In response to Jeff, I agree with you also when you say that reality therapy focuses quickly on people who lack something from their relationships. This approach is a very surface scratching therapy. I personally believe that there is always an underlying reason why people do or feel the way they do. This therapy could work for someone who lacks self esteem or ambition but as far as disorders or addictions not so much.
Chapter 11 is about reality therapy. Reality therapists believe that the underlying problem are the same that they are either involved in a present on satisfying relationship or lack what could even be called a relationship.it also states that few clients understand that a problem which is happiness results from the way they are choosing to behave. this therapy doesn't care about the underlying problem it just serves as a way to start from where you are and move forward. I don't particularly like this bear p but it can be useful for people who have already worked on and solved there are other problems the ones that lie beneath. I believe that partnered with a different therapeutic approach reality therapy could work and be effective but alone it only asks as a bandaid and just coats the problem and not fix it.
In reply to Niesha, reality therapy is also like behavior therapy in a way. they both are therapeutic ways for a client that does not wish to be in therapy forever. This is why the approach is acting like a bandaid and another reason why they do not get involved with learning about the client's past. If so that would allow the client to be in therapy long term than short term. If their is someone that would like to talk about their past, this would most likely not be the kind of therapy for them.
In response to Niesha i agree with you when you said "I believe that partnered with a different therapeutic approach reality therapy could work and be effective but alone it only asks as a bandaid and just coats the problem and not fix it." i think psychoanalytic would be a good combination with reality therapy. because you first want to fix the underlying problems and then you want to help your client prepare for their future.
Niesha I agree with you when you stated this type of therapy does not get to the bottom of the underlying issue that may cause someone to act abnormal, it only deals with the here and now which may only fix the problem temporary.
Chapter 11 talks about reality therapy, their therapeutic process, techniques used, and procedures that lead to change. Reality therapists can be used as mentors, helping clients evaluate their own behavior and make plans for change. Reality therapy also allows you to be able to talk about your past, but brings them back to the future to see if their were some challenges they have had in the past, that is causing conflict in their future. The therapist will bring up the challenges the client is having but not in a confrontational way. Reality therapists will not allow the client to ignore their problems, but to address them in the best way possible. It also allows clients to try different approaches and make plans to change their behaviors based on the approaches they use.This type of therapy would be perfect for someone that wants to make changes in the present in a short amount of time.
In response to Alena, I agree this therapy would be good for some one who wants to make fast changes but Im not to sure about a short amount of time only because it is reflecting on the persons past.
In response to alena, I agree when you say it may help be able to talk about there past because i feel like if a person is comfortable with you and trusts you they will open up. I think this type of therapy would be very helpful
Alena I agree with the approach you spoke of about how reality therapist find ways for clients to address their problems but in a non-confrontational way and I also agree with the approach of therapists helping client evaluate their own behavior, because I believe once a person can acknowledge their faults and short-comings they are able to have a broader prospective of their lives.
in chapter eleven Reality Therapy is similar to the prior theories in some of the early chapters,however I was able to assimilate and comprehend the concept of wubbolding theoretic techniques and his plan of actions through his series of questions and his honest self assessment this also help the client to evaluate each component of their behavior.
In reply to Shabrita, I also agree with you about the similarities of the therapies we have discussed in class. I believe that this type of therapy is also like behavior therapy. It does not get to the root of the problem, just talks about the future. I really don't see these approaches effective at all because : How can you fully understand what your client is going through in his/her future, if there's something stirring up from their past? It kind of reminds me of the here and now approach and I don't think that it will help, unless someone comes to therapy with an issue that has just arised.
Chapter eleven was about reality therapy. This therapy was developed by William Glasser in the 1950's and 1960's. The main idea of this therapy is that behavior is our attempt to control our perceptions of the external world so they fit our internal and need satisfying world. This therapy uses the WDEP model, which stands for wants,directions, evaluation, and planning. I feel as if this therapy approach could really help a client or it could really hurt them. It could help the client put their life back together but it could hurt them by not guaranteeing that it would stay together because the therapist didn't resolve the underling issues that made it fall apart in the first place.
In response to Molly, I agree with you completely. This approach is either dead on or a hit and miss. Like you said it can either help or hurt you. As I mentioned to Jeff, this could be ideal for someone with self esteem issues or lack of drive. But something in depth such as addictions or disorders it could totally have the adverse affect.
In response to molly, I agree with you because even though the client might feel "cured" after these sessions on this therapy, as the type goes on the problem will come back again. Because during these sessions the therapist is helping the client to better their future and not helping them to learn to let go or fix their past. Because most of a person's problem resolve from their past.
In chapter 11 it talks about reality therapy. this therapy by William Glasser practices the therapeutic process that help with change in the client to redirect them in the right way. This therapy helps with people reflect on the past but keeps them in touch with reality to see if their issue could possibly stem from past situations. I like this therapy because most people deal with issues from the past that make them how they are today. I believe in order to fix a problem you have to find the root of it.
In reponse to Danielle I think you might have this therapy confused with psychoanalytic therapy. When you said "This therapy helps with people reflect on the past but keeps them in touch with reality to see if their issue could possibly stem from past situations." This therapy is actually based in the here and now and rejects key concepts that focus on the past. I do agree with you however when you said " in order to fix a problem you have to find the root of it. "
in response to Danielle,I agree with This therapy too because helps with people reflect on the past but keeps them in touch with reality to see if their issue could possibly stem from past situations.I also agree with you with if you want to fix the problem you have find root of it, in order to move on with your life.
In response to Molly, not confused the therapy is designed to help people in reality but in order to do that you have to find out the problem and the problem usually stems from the past.
