select one of the following questions to discuss (from Corey, 2016).
- Grounded in choice theory, the WDEP system (wants, direction, evaluation, plan) assists people in satisfying their basic needs. What ideas from this system can you apply to better understand yourself? How can you apply some principles of choice theory and reality therapy to your personal life? How can this approach assist you in making changes in your behavior?
- What are ways you can apply the WDEP model in groups you might facilitate? What ideas do you have about encouraging members of your groups to evaluate their current behavior and decide what they may want to change?
- Reality therapy focuses on what we are doing. To what extent do you find that when you begin to act differently you also change what you are thinking and feeling? Can you provide any personal examples?
- Once group members decide on changing a specific current behavior, it is essential to implement an action plan. What are some guidelines you can use in assisting members in designing an effective action plan?
- What are the major contributions and strengths of choice/reality therapy when applied to group work? What are some of the limitations of this approach?
