REALITY THERAPY As the field of psychology evolved in the twentieth century, theorists examined the possibility of feelings, emotions and thoughts influencing an individual’s behaviour, and as a result a number of alternative approaches to therapy evolved. Behavioural theorists asserted that a person is the “producer and the product of his or her environment” (Corey, 2009, p. 237), whilst cognitive therapy incorporated the effect of the client’s belief systems and thinking in determining behaviour and emotional responses. Classic behavioural models were eventually greatly affected by cognitive psychology, and cognitive schools took on behavioural components, resulting in a merged cognitive behavioural method of approach. In its practical, directive and thought based approach, Reality therapy, based on research by William Glasser in the 1950’s, conforms to the cognitive behavioural school of thought and will be illustrated in this essay. Theory and techniques will be applied through the window of the case study of John, in an effort to demonstrate the effectiveness of this model in strengthening an individual’s internal sense of control, thereby changing behaviour.
