Answer: C - This therapy, closely related to Adlerian therapy, focuses on helping clients correct faulty assumptions, mistaken goals to see how issues from the past have affected them now.
Reality therapy is a client-centered form of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy that focuses on improving present relationships and circumstances while largely avoiding discussion of past events. This approach is based on the idea that our most important need is to be loved, to feel that we belong and that all other basic needs can be satisfied only by building strong connections with others. Reality therapy teaches that while we cannot control how we feel, we can control how we think and behave. The goal of reality therapy is to help people take control of improving their own lives by learning to make better choices.
Adlerian Therapy is closely related to reality therapy. Philosophically, it helps a person understand the self they created, why it isn’t working as well as they’d like, and choosing to make improvements to their style of life with a focus on the future. Everyone creates a self in order to pursue their goals, chief among them being social connectedness.
In Alfred Adler’s view, literally, everything we do, and all our abilities and efforts are to achieve one goal, at the same time universal and highly unique. The way your mind picks its goal has everything to do with what you unconsciously (and often consciously) believe to be your inferiority or inferiorities. Often these are imagined inferiorities that end up creating overcompensating goals.
Adlerian therapy helps correct errors in behavior so that one can focus on appropriate compensations for your weaknesses, develop your strengths, and feel encouraged about creating the right meaning and connections.
