A practical book on counseling that contains down-to-earth ideas on how to apply the principles of reality therapy in specific situations such as marriage, family, and individual counseling as well as the work environment.

Dr. Wubbolding has formulated the concept of reality therapy as a "cycle of counseling" that can be entered at various points as appropriate for individual clients. He shows that counseling is not a 'how-to' methodology but an art that is mastered through practice.
