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 counselling which can be used in any therapeutic relationship. It presents a comprehensive, succinct and practical overview of Reality Therapy; also containing 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 counselling 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 technique can be used in schools, by the probation service, in prisons, at work, within clinics and the health service and in many other areas where counselling is necessary.
