Reality Therapy, developed by William Glasser, M.D., is a method of working with others in a way that is consistent with Choice Theory.  The application of Reality Therapy in counseling or conferences will give you "tools" to work with clients, students, parents and/or colleagues.  The primary focus of this approach is to "teach" responsibility and effective choices.
