Reality Therapy for the 21st Century by Robe Wubbolding

From the Publisher

Reality Therapy for the 21st Century aims to be the most comprehensive, practical, clearly illustrated examination of reality therapy currently available. Well-written in an easy to read style, the book includes an historically significant interview with William Glasser, MD, multicultural applications and research based studies. Its goal is to enhance the skills of helpers so that clients may live more effective lives through a total balance of love, health, and happiness.

The book significantly extends the practice of reality therapy. To help teach reality therapy, the author encapsulates the delivery system into the acronym 'WDEP'. It is expanded to include 22 types of self-evaluation which counselors and therapists can use to shorten therapy time in the current managed care environment. Each component of the delivery system is illustrated with dialogues so that the reader can see exactly how the system is practical and immediately usable.
