The Language of Choice Theory

In this companion volume to the bestselling Choice Theory,Dr. William Glasser and his wife, Carleen Glasser, have imagined typical conversations in real-life situations—between parent and child, two partners in a relationship, teacher and student, and boss and employee. On the left-hand page is a typical controlling order or threat, and on the right a more reasonable version, using choice theory, which is more likely to get a favorable response from the child, lover, student, or employee. Through these examples, the principles of choice theory come alive.
