What contributions has reality/choice theory made to multicultural counseling?

What will be an ideal response?


Its theory respects differences in clients’ worldviews and cultural values. Clients assess how they are meeting their needs within their particular culture. Likewise, therapists encourage clients to make plans that are consistent with their cultural values. Glasser asserts that reality therapy can be applied to all cultures because relationship problems exist in all cultures. Wubbolding and Associates (1998) have expanded reality therapy in the following countries: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, India, Kuwait, and numerous countries within Europe. Skillful questioning helps assess how ethnic minorities have acculturated or been integrated within a given society. Because reality therapy leaves it to the client to determine what he or she wants, ethnic minority clients can retain their ethnic identity.
