Dr. William Glasser is an internationally recognized psychiatrist
who is best known as the author of Reality Therapy, a method of
psychotherapy he created in 1965 and that is now taught all over the
world. Dr. William Glasser’s approach is
non-traditional. Dr. William Glasser does not believe in the concept
of mental illness unless there is something organically wrong with
the brain that can be confirmed by a pathologist. Very early, he
came to the conclusion that genetically we are social creatures and
need each other and that the cause of almost all psychological
symptoms is our inability to get along with the important people in
our lives |

By 1980, Dr. William Glasser had begun to form the
idea that led to Choice Theory: why so many people are unhappy in
their relationships. Unlike all other living creatures, only human beings
are genetically driven by the need for power. We try to satisfy that need by
using what he calls, external control psychology – literally trying to force
people to do what we want them to do. This struggle has led to the symptoms
described in the DSM-IV. Dr. William Glasser teaches that if we can't figure
out how to learn to satisfy our power need by respecting each other, our
days on earth are numbered. He offers choice theory to replace external
control and has dedicated the remainder of his life to teaching and
supporting this idea. |
In 1967, Dr. William Glasser founded The Institute for
Reality Therapy. Since that time, over 65,000 people worldwide have taken
intensive week training to gain knowledge on how to apply his ideas in their
professional life. They have discovered that by using choice theory, their
personal relationships have improved as well.
