For involvement between the therapist and client to occur, the counselor must have certain personal qualities, including:
Reality therapy emphasizes an understanding and supportive relationship, or therapeutic alliance, which is the foundation for effective outcomes (Wubbolding & Brickell, 2005; Wubbolding, Robey & Brickell, 2010).
The therapist's skill in establishing a trusting relationship is critical. It is also important that the client perceives the therapist as being skilled and knowledgeable.
Wubbolding (2010, 2011a, 2011b) identifies specific ways for counselors to create a climate that leads to involvement with clients.
The basis for therapeutic interventions to work effectively rests on a fair, firm, friendly, and trusting environment. Once involvement has been established, the counselor assists clients in gaining a deeper understanding of the consequences of their current behavior.
Some of these ways entail...
When clients change what they are doing, they often change how they are feeling and thinking.
Therapists will gently, but firmly confront clients. Reality therapists often ask clients questions such as these:
Neither will much time be spent talking about feelings separate from the acting and thinking that are part of the total behaviors over which clients have direct control.
The therapist functions as an ADVOCATE, or someone who is ON THE CLIENT'S SIDE.
Reality therapist assist clients in evaluating their own:
The outcome is better relationships, increased happiness, and sense of inner control of their lives (Wubbolding, 2011b).
Clients can expect to experience some urgency in therapy. Time is important, as each session may be the last.
Client's should be able to say themselves, "I can begin to use what we talked about today in my life. I am able to bring my present experiences to therapy as my problems are in the present, and my therapist will not let me escape from that fact."
a basic goal of reality therapy is to help clients learn better ways of fulfilling all their needs including...
...to help clients get connected or reconnected with the people they have chosen to put in their quality world.
ACHIEVEMENT, POWER or INNER CONTROL, FREEDOM or INDEPENDENCE, and FUN.
In many instances, clients come voluntarily for therapy, and these clients are the easiest to help.
However, another goal entails working with an increasing number of involuntary clients who may actively resist the therapist and the therapy process.
Reality therapist assist clients in making MORE EFFECTIVE and RESPONSIBLE CHOICES related to their WANTS and NEEDS.
