Description: Glasser has worked with choice theory for half of his 40 years of psychiatric practice. Basically, choice theory helps its users avoid confrontation and ask pertinent questions. It sees conscious or unconscious desire for external control as the main problem in the four major personal relationships: husband-wife, parent-child, teacher-student, and manager-worker. If you think you can control others, it counsels, you are in for trouble, for the only person you can control is yourself. So all personal problems are both present problems and relationship problems. Glasser urges anyone in a relationship to ask, before taking a step, whether that step will keep the two related persons at least as close together as they are now; if it will, it may be worth taking. Combining choice theory and reality therapy in his practice, Glasser has been able to shorten the durations of his treatment programs substantially. As he presents them here, his theories and approaches can be applied in education and business as well as for self-help. Waterstones Choice Theory - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: My counsellor recamended this book. I read it twice, to let it all sink in. While I will say that it is interesting, and does have its place, it woul dbe hard to implement it all in a world where no one else is implementing this knowledge! I have taken pieces from it and incorporated it into my life, and I have discarded other bits. My counsellor is trying to get me to follow this program in its purest form, he is fanatical about it, which is maybe coloring my persepctive. Sadly, I am human. I have to let my boss control certain elements of my life, because he does not follow choice theory. Same with others. While I know that they cannot control me, and I cannot control others, I cannot start preaching to people. So, nice bit of theory, and great if you can work with some of it.
