Talk:Glasser's choice theory

# I find psychotherapy accurate but somewhat limiting since there is a VERY much broader use of Choice Theory, particularly in counseling and training. For example, see the soon-to-be created Better Choices, Inc. program described at: http://BetterChoicesNow.Org that is devoted entirely to the huge problem of reducing recidivsim, i.e. parolees returning to prisons, repeatedly. The Better Choices program is stictly one of education, NOT counseling and not therapy, i.e. TEACHING Choice Theory as a route to giving the largely angry and unhappy people who populate our prisons insight into building better relationships with the people  who matter most in their lives, taking responsibility for their CHOICES, behavioral choices, that will make a difference in how they ACT and THINK, and ulitmately will save SOME percentage of them from returning to prison.  As a society that matters: in Massachusetts where I live, just a 1% reduction in recidivism equates to something of the order of $1 million a year in savings to the state and its taxpayers.

# I categorized this under 'psychotherapy' instead of 'psychology' because from what I've read about it, most of its application is in therapy. Very few articles on psychology need to be at the top level category; most should fall under 'self', 'personality', 'memory', 'cognition', 'social psychology', 'psychotherapy', etc. Maybe 'psychotherapy' is the wrong subcategory?
# I also categorized this under 'popular psychology' since nearly all the author's publications have been books, and very few peer-reviewed articles, at least according to PsycINFO and scholar.google.com.

message: Dec 2015 - The big problem here is assuming-equating Glasser's Quality schools were like Summerhill, student free-for-alls with no structure.  Anyone thinking this has not read much Glasser nor followed his career.  
I think it's his second Quality School book, The Quality Teacher, which offers many examples from schools he supervised.  He was an innovator of more humanism between teacher, students and learning--not a Summerhill radical.  
I also eliminated many of the unnecessary and clumsy "that"s.  Is every Wikipedia article required to have 100 unnecessary and stilted-sounding "that"s?

message: Notability is an important criteria, but there are varying degrees and when something is of lesser notability to the general public but of marked notability in academic fields - particularly to those studying speech theory or psychology - it really should be given the benefit of the doubt. My two cents, I will leave it to the community to decide if this should be deleted or the question of notability removed. 22 Apr 2011.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.211.243.48 (talk) 15:47, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

message: "Sudbury schools choose to recognize that students are personally responsible for their acts, in opposition to virtually all schools today that deny it."
Really? When was the last time you spent time in other types of schools? As a current graduate teacher, I've taught in many types of schools in the last year from private, to religious, to state schools and this does not represent them in any way203.29.107.155 (talk) 05:11, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Veracity of statement

message: while the final section does add some WP:NPOV to the article, most of it is written based on primary sources and with obvious non-neutral language like "the culmination of some 50 years of theory and practice" etc. Someone not using his real name (talk) 09:35, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking on google books and scholar using the parameters Glasser + "choice theory" yields alot of primary sources. I am not sure whether there are sufficient secondary sources in peer-reviewed papers to justify its existence. Will look more tomorrow. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
