What Is Choice Theory?
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. Negative behaviors reduce in frequency and intensity, relationships strengthen and satisfaction in life increases.
The Evolution of Choice Theory
Dr. Glasser introduced Reality Therapy to the world in 1965 and the theory evolved as he practiced it.
