Choice Theory and Reality Therapy: Session 4

In this course, Dr Patricia Robey has the fourth counseling session with Kennedy, a 28-year-old Ph.D. candidate who is dealing with depression and relational issues with her family. Robey makes interventions derived from Reality Therapy, supported by Choice Theory, to help Kennedy meet her relational goals, including behaving assertively when she is not being treated well. In the discussion with series host Dr Shannon Dermer after the session, Robey explains interventions she has made with Kennedy from the Choice Theory and Reality Therapy perspective, including use of the Basic Needs Rating Scale, notions of structured flexibility, the importance of treating each session as a termination session, and more. Note: This course is part of the “Therapies In-Action: Choice Theory and Reality Therapy” MHA Collection.
