The Skydiver's View of Reality Therapy: Increasing Safety and Wellness (WNBC1012)

Presented by the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program

Speaker Introduction by Dr. David Capuzzi

The central component of this presentation is a simulated role-play demonstration showing participants how reality therapy applies to a client and illustrating that reality therapy is a mental health system not a mental disorder system. It aims at preserving and increasing the mental health of clients that is often linked to physical health. Reality therapy focuses on the total person by helping them develop, maintain and enhance their relationships. In neuroscience the brain is seen as a relational process. When human beings have healthy relationships they are more inclined to live satisfying lives. Counselors help facilitate better human relationships by focusing on clients’ total behavior: actions, thinking, feelings, and physiology. Clients then more effectively satisfy their inner needs which are their behavioral motivators. This presentation focuses on practical skills for addressing client behaviors: the WDEP system.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

Identify 5 human motivators: belonging, inner control or power, freedom or independence, fun or enjoyment and survival or self-preservation.
Describe the significance of the quality world or world of wants.
List 2 purposes of all human behavior.
Enumerate 3 types of self-evaluation: interventions that counselors can use with clients
