He concludes that we are social creatures and

need each other. However, the cause of

almost all psychological symptoms is our

inability to get along with the important

people in our lives.

He proves that so-called mental illnesses can

be cured (or made healthy again) by having

happy marital, family, teacher-student, and

manager-worker relationships.

People are required to live in a world full of other human beings, and every individual must learn to satisfy his own needs in a way that does not encroach upon another person's needs.

By 1980, Dr. William Glasser began to form the Choice Theory: The reason why so many people are unhappy in their relationships.

He explains that, unlike all other living creatures, only human beings are genetically driven by the need for power. We try to satisfy our need for power by using external control psychology—literally trying to force people to do what we want them to do. This struggle has led to the symptoms such as pain and fatigue.

Choice Theory is aimed at proactively creating mental health through happy human relationships.

Choice Theory

W B T L E

For instance, when someone is diagnosed with depression, they are choosing to depress (they are "depressing") so that they can gain the upper hand (it’s a form of getting bad attention). However, when choosing to proactively control their own thoughts and actions in a mature way, thus gaining the respect and admiration of the people they love and care for, they will return to a very happy state and not need to use the external control mechanism of "depressing". The same works for paining, panicking, angering, etc.

In Education


Dr. Glasser believes that schools systematically deprive students of a chance to behave and learn in responsible ways. All participants within the classroom have responsibilities. The teacher has a responsibility to teach in a way that makes their subject relevant and interesting. The students have the responsibility to show up to class, study and learn.

In Education


To Glasser all of us have the same basic needs. If schools helped us understand how to meet those needs, we would have few disciplinary problems, and students would be actively engaged in satisfying their innate curiosity. They would also tend to graduate with healthy self-esteem and less self-doubt, breaking the neurotic cycle that passes self-limiting habits from one generation to the next.

Abraham H. Maslow developed a five-level hierarchy of human needs. A major point of this hierarchy is that each need level must be generally satisfied before the person attempts to fill those needs on the next level. The first two needs are considered primary, or lower-order needs; the remaining three are secondary, or higher-order needs.

… as Tom Sawyer did when he was painting the fence. (Para. 14)

It refers to an episode described in Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in which the boy who had been ordered to paint the fence as a punishment turned it into great fun for his eager friends by pretending to take it as an artistic undertaking.
