Choice Theory® is the universal system for empowering individuals and improving relationships. Choice Theory® is based on the simple premise that every individual only has the power to control themselves and has limited power to control others. Applying Choice Theory allows one to take responsibility for one’s own life and at the same time, withdraw from attempting to direct other people’s decisions and lives. Individuals are empowered to take responsibility for their choices and support others in taking ownership of their choices.

This is the personal freedom and responsibility psychology we teach!

What is Choice Theory Psychology?

Choice Theory psychology states that all we do is behave, that almost all behaviour is chosen, and that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom and fun. In practice, the most important need is love and belonging, as closeness and connectedness with the people we care about is a requisite for satisfying all of our needs.

CHOICE THEORY

The core text by Dr. Glasser. It sums up the theory that is the foundation of his approach to counselling, education, management and mental well-being. This book brings together the wealth of practical experience and theoretical understanding of one of the most eminent psychiatrists in the world today. In it he outlines his “psychology of personal freedom” using language that puts his ideas within the reach of all.

Patience!

"In most conflicts there is more time than you think; the urgency is more in your head than in the situation itself."

Since learning Choice Theory, it has affected every area of my thought life. From political to religious, I apply Dr. Glasser’s perspective of being nonjudgmental and non coercive. I will express my opinion and knowledge, however!

In leadership, the most important factor is not that I have high expectations of my team but that my behavior inspires them to have high expectations of themselves.
