REALITY THERAPY: A NEW APPROACH TO PSYCHIATRY

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

WILLIAM GLASSER

FROM THE COVER: For a number of years, Dr. Glasser, convinced of the frequent ineffectiveness of Freudian psychoanalytic procedures, has been developing a very different therapeutic approach-Reality Therapy. The requirements of Reality Therapy—an intense personal involvement, facing reality, rejecting irresponsible behavior, and learning better ways to behave—-bear little resemblance to conventional therapy and produce markedly different results. Whether the patient thinks he is Napoleon, is running berserk, or has nervous headaches, the common cause is inability to fulfill the two essential needs: to love and be loved,

REALITY THERAPY : A NEW APPROACH TO PSYCHIATRY

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

by WILLIAM GLASSER. With a Foreword by O. H. MOWRER

This is an extraordinarily significant book. Readers will themselves discover that it is courageous, unconventional, and challenging. And future developments will, I predict, show that it is also scientifically and humanly sound. For more than a decade now, it has been evident that something is seriously amiss in contemporary psychiatry and clinical psychology. Under the sway of Freudian psychoanalysis, these disciplines have not validated themselves either diagnostically or therapeutically. Their practitioners, as persons, have not manifested any exceptional grasp on the virtues and strengths they purportedly help others to acquire. And the impact of their philosophy of life and conception of man in society as a whole has been subtly subversive….

TOWARD EFFECTIVE COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY: Training and Practice

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

BY CHARLES B. TRUAX and ROBERT R. CARKHUFF

FROM THE FOREWORD: THE field of counseling and psychotherapy has for years presented the puzzling spectacle of unabating enthusiasm for forms of treatment whose effectiveness could not be objectively demonstrated. With few exceptions, statistical studies have consistently failed to show that any form of psychotherapy is followed by significantly more improvement than would be caused by the mere passage of an equivalent period of time. Despite this, practitioners of various psychotherapeutic schools have remained ormly convinced that their methods are effective. The growing demand for psychotherapy is evidence that many recipients of these forms of treatment also believe that they are being helped. The series of investigations reported in this impressive book have succeeded in resolving this paradoxical state of affairs, and the consequences may be far-reaching.
