However, the reality therapy is more philosophical than cognitive behavioral approaches; it emphasizes more on the process and responsibility than the consequences. The basis of the reality therapy is to assist the individuals in making their own choices in accordance with their needs without harming the others. .This approach is particularly preferred at schools and substance abuse clinics. This study includes the introduction to the reality therapy, its characteristics, significant theoretical concepts and it also includes the treatment process, implementation and assessment issues.

GERÇEKLİK TERAPİSİ: ÖZELLİKLER, TEMEL KAVRAMLAR, TEDAVİ, UYGULAMA VE DEĞERLENDİRME

Öz

William Glasser tarafından 1960’lı yıllarda geliştirilen gerçeklik terapisi, bilişsel ve davranışçı teori ve müdahaleler üzerine yapılandırılmıştır. Bununla birlikte gerçeklik terapisi, bilişsel davranışçı yaklaşımlardan daha felsefidir. Sonuçlardan çok sorumluluğa ve sürece daha fazla vurgu yapar. Bireylere, diğerlerine zarar vermeden ihtiyaçlarıyla uyumlu olan kendi seçimlerini kendilerinin yapmalarına yardım etmek gerçeklik terapisinin temelidir. Özellikle okullarda ve madde bağımlılığı kliniklerinde bu yaklaşım tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, gerçeklik terapisinin tanıtımı, özellikleri, önemli teorik kavramlarına aynı zamanda tedavi süreci, uygulama ve değerlendirme konularına da yer verilmiştir.
