Introduction to Choice Theory

by Dr. Willam Glasser

Choice Theory® is a fascinating perspective on human behaviour developed by Dr. William Glasser. Let’s dive into the core concepts:

1- Basic Premise:
  • We are always in control of our behaviour.
  • Our choices stem from an attempt to meet our five fundamental human needs:
    • Survival
    • Love and belonging
    • Fun
    • Freedom
    • Power
2- Internal Motivation:
  • While many people operate from an external control perspective, Choice Theory® emphasises that our behaviour is primarily motivated internally.
  • We strive to fulfill our needs through our actions.
3- Critique of Traditional Psychology:
  • Glasser criticises traditional psychology (external control psychology) for being destructive to human relationships.
  • Instead, he advocates for understanding our internal motivations and making conscious choices.
4- Positive Psychology:
  • Choice Theory offers a path to happier, more connected lives.
  • By recognising our power to choose, we can transform our world and improve our mental health.

What Participants Are Saying

Becoming aware that I act as a Boss Manager, learning the skills of a ‘’Caring Conversation” and a “Lead Management Conversation’’ have already had a positive impact on my personal and professional relationships. I am looking forward to using them more.

K.H

Completed a Basic Intensive training in Brisbane.

Learning about and being conscious of using Choice Theory has strengthened my important relationships, including the relationship I have with myself. I experience much more calm within myself and feel that by being empowered with the knowledge of Total Behaviour, I almost have a formula to navigate challenging moments in my life.

L.M

Completed a Basic Practicum. ( Second level of training) South Australia

Learning about choice theory has had a major impact on my life.  The insightful learning helped me to understand that the only person I have control over is myself.  Accepting this premise was the turning point in my life.
