these articles available to you. To access these articles Dr. Capps has outlined the following procedure . . . He has created a link through his website at MWSU which will allow readers interested in any/all of Glasser‘s concepts to request copies of any/all desired articles. He will also provide a source that will list the abstracts for each of these articles, rather than only list bibliographic information for each of them. Consequently, anyone who wishes to access all that is available regarding Glasser‘s work, and/or all those who have studied it, too, need only follow the simple directions described below, which have been provided to us by Dr. Matthew Capps: Go to this website: http://education.mwsu.edu/ “On the left hand side under the Links Area, you will see the hyperlink International Journal of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy. Click on this link and it will take you to the journal page. On this page will be hyperlinks to abstracts and a form to request the full article.” In exchange for these services (i.e., providing on its website contact information for the International Journal of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy, and a link to the online publication) by the West College of Education at Midwestern State University it is understood that WCOE: 1. Will serve as the sole sponsor of the International Journal of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy, and will be identified as such in all future copies of the Journal. 2. May be permitted to charge a reasonable fee for requests of digital copies. Importantly, Bill and Carleen Glasser, on September 25, 2011, granted their permission for us to make the International Journal of Choice Theory available to everyone in this way, and I (i.e., Thomas S. Parish) do likewise on behalf of the Journal of Reality Therapy and the International Journal of Reality Therapy, which was placed in my care by Dr. Larry Litwack on January 1, 2010.

Answering Objections to Choice Theory / Reality Therapy Robert E. Wubbolding, Ed.D., CTRTC Abstract Persons in the helping professions often express difficulty accepting choice theory that underlies reality therapy as well as the delivery system itself. This article is a summary and extension of a keynote address and presents several frequently raised questions/objections followed by possible responses to them. Explored in the article are whether we live in a world of external control, the place of choosing behaviors in choice theory/reality therapy, the use of diagnosis, and the effect of trauma. Objections to and criticisms of choice theory/reality therapy are not new. Nevertheless, as the ideas founded and developed by William Glasser, MD are further augmented, more widely practiced and increasingly taught in universities around the world new objections, criticisms and questions surface in the educational and academic worlds. Consequently there is an ongoing necessity to answer such inquiries and provide clarifications. This article summarizes and extends the author‘s keynote presentation at The William Glasser Institute Midwest Region July 8, 2011 in Schaumburg, Illinois. Several responses and amplifications helpful for addressing a variety of critiques and inquiries are provided below. Historical Note Glasser has continued to develop his ideas since the publication of his first books (1960, 1965, 1968). He added control theory as the basis of reality therapy and as an explanation of all human behavior (1980, 1984). Subsequently, he changed the name of the theory to choice theory because of the added emphasis on human behavior as a choice (1998). Furthermore, reality therapy constitutes the delivery system for choice theory and is his most well known contribution to the helping professions. Wubbolding‘s writings (2000, 2011) extend the principles of choice theory and reality therapy, while many others have contributed their specializations to the implementation of choice theory and the practice of reality therapy to such areas as parenting (Buck, 2000), education (Sullo, 2007) and management (Pierce, 2007), couples counseling, (Robey, Wubbolding & Carlson, 2012), (Olver, 2011), and corrections (Myers & Jackson, 2002). Below are four inquiries and implied reservations about choice theory/reality therapy presented in training sessions, in university classes, and in conversations with members of the helping professions. Question 1 When you look at the world through the lens of choice theory what kind of world presents itself? Response: The conventional answer is that we live in a world characterized by external controls. People worldwide are attempting to control other people. These efforts to manipulate and control others are the source of most human problems. International Journal of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy • Fall 2011 • Vol. XXXI, number 1 • 9
