Who developed Reality therapy based on choice theory?

Fritz Perls
Aaron Beck
Albert Ellis
William Glasser

The correct answer is: William Glasser

William Glasser developed Reality Therapy, which is grounded in his broader framework of Choice Theory. Choice Theory posits that individuals have the power to make choices that influence their behaviors and emotions, and that fulfilling basic psychological needs is fundamental to mental health. Reality Therapy focuses on helping clients take control of their lives by making responsible choices that lead to fulfilling their needs. Glasser's approach emphasizes personal accountability and the importance of building strong relationships with others to achieve these needs. His work highlights the idea that individuals can change their behavior by examining their current choices and considering alternatives that can lead to more satisfying outcomes. This foundational understanding of the interplay between choice and reality is what distinguishes Glasser's work in counseling, making him a pivotal figure in this area of therapeutic practice.
