REALITY THERAPY QUESTION # 4. What is my plan? (Plan)
or
What will I now do to get me more of what I want?
RESOURCES: This is one of four Reality Therapy Questions that help us shape our behavior. It is mentioned in my handout on PSYCHOLOGICAL TOOLS FOR PERSONAL WHOLENESS, David O. Kueker, Kinmundy/Wesley United Methodist Church in the section entitled 1. THE WAY UP.
These three books form the basis of my understanding: Reality Therapy: A New Approach to Psychiatry by William Glasser, MD. Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom by William Glasser, MD. Using Reality Therapy by Robert E. Wubbolding.
The FOUR REALITY THERAPY QUESTIONS which help us find the way up and out are:
1. What do I want?
2. What am I doing?
3. Is what I am doing getting me what I want? (Evaluation)
4. What is my plan? (Plan)
or
What will I now do to get me more of what I want?
Dr. Wubbolding also refers to them as the WDEP system. (Source: Robert Wubbolding, EdD, Using Reality Therapy.)
ABOUT THIS CATEGORY: This category is an ongoing conversation on ideas from books that have blessed me over my long life; new information will be added to posts from time to time, including quotes either from the book or from other’s commends on that book. It’s a personal list and of great variety. I recommend these books because I’ve found them useful, interesting, or fun, or combinations of all three. This blog has no economic benefit if you buy these books, and we are part of no affiliate program that would bring an economic benefit. The recommendation here is a way of saying Thank You to the authors and publishers that have made them available.
