Reality Theory

Developed in  the 1960s by  Willian glasser,  a  psychiatrist,  reality  therapists  view human nature in terms of behaviour. They believe that human behaviour is motivated by two common basic needs: (a) the need  to love and  be loved, and (b)  the  need  to feel worthwhile to ourselves and others. People are responsible for their behaviour and behaving in a responsible manner lielps people fulfill their needs.  Clients are helped and encouraged to make value judgments about their own behaviour. Once the chosen behaviour is viewed as responsible, clients feelings about their behaviour tend to become positive. This approach can help the dietetic practitioner to use a structure approach for assisting a client lo change inappropriate eating behaviours.
