Reality Therapy is firmly based on which theory and aims to help people reconnect by focusing on the present and specific behavior?

• A. Rational-Emotive Theory
• B. Reality/Choice Theory
• C. Cognitive Theory
• D. Counseling Role

Answer: (B)

Reality Therapy is grounded in Reality/Choice Theory, which holds that all behavior is chosen to meet basic needs and that we control our own actions rather than external events. The approach focuses on the here and now—examining what a person is doing and choosing to do next—so they can take responsibility and make better choices to reconnect with others. By prioritizing present behavior and purposeful change, it aims to help individuals satisfy their needs through constructive actions that improve relationships. This present-focused, choice-driven perspective distinguishes it from theories that center on changing beliefs or thoughts, or from any non-theory concept like a counseling role.
