William Glasser’s book Choice Theory, also known as Theory, although not his first; But it is undoubtedly his most important book. A book that, since its first publication in 1998, has been of great interest to people in cognition and improving the quality of individual life. William Glasser is a psychiatrist who has distanced himself from conventional psychiatric settings. He insists that the cure for our problems as human beings lies in correcting our behaviors and choices, not in the use of chemical drugs. He believes that the more the center of internal control in human beings is strengthened and established, the less problems and challenges they will have in life. Glasser calls the common psychological attitude External Control Psychology or External Control Psychology.

Selection Theory Book Description

Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, can reverse our widespread inability to cope, which is the source of almost all discomfort.

For progress in human relations, he explains, we must abandon the psychology of external control that punishes and destroys relationships. For example, if you are currently in an unpleasant relationship, he suggests that one or both of you may use external control psychology. He goes further. And it shows that misery is always related to a current unpleasant relationship. Contrary to what you may think, your problems are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday.
