现实治疗法的新进展——选择理论述评

A Review on Reality Therapy:The Depiction and Evaluation of Choice Theory

选择理论是威廉·格拉瑟(William Glasser)应用现实治疗法的过程中发展的新理论,取代“控制理论”成为现实治疗法所有工作的基础和核心理论。其主要观点是:人一生所做的都是综合行为,人唯一能够选择的是自己的行为。选择理论修正了基本需要、优质世界、综合行为等概念和内涵,强调内部控制,强调人的选择,否认心理疾病,重视关系的作用。文章介绍了选择理论产生的历程,阐述了它的主要内容以及在咨询中的应用,最后结合中国文化及咨询经验对其进行评价。

Choice theory is developed during the practicing of reality therapy,by Willaim Glasser. It’s the foundation and core theory of all the work done by reality therapy instead of control theory. A very important idea of it is that ‘all we do from birth to death is behave and all we do is chosen.’Choice theory modifies the concept of basic needs, quality world, and total behavior. It emphasizes internal control and choice. And it denies the concept of mental illness, and thinks much of the relationship. The article introduces the history of choice theory, expatiates on the main content and the application to counseling. At the end of the article, the author’s evaluation is given combining the Chinese culture and the author’s experience of counseling.
