A LETTER TO YOU FROM CARLEEN GLASSER

Dear Friends and Members of The WGI Family Worldwide,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my beloved husband Bill Glasser. He was very happy to hear that there is going to be an International Convention of The William Glasser Institute this June, at Loyola Marymount University, in Los Angeles, California.

The reason I am writing this letter is to share with you what he said. Bill asked me to tell you, he is no longer able to travel anywhere and he wanted you to know that, because he cannot come to you, the LA Convention would probably be his last opportunity to see you in person. He said he wants to spend some time with you, shake your hands and thank you for all you have done to support his ideas over the years.

So I am asking if you could find a way to come here, where we live, to be with Bill at the conference. I know how much it would mean to him. He remembers how many times you came to hear him speak and to be with each other at past conventions. There are many new faces now and exciting directions the ideas are taking. Bill wants to be a part of all you are doing today and hear about your ideas for the future. He is forever a lifelong learner.

Please, join us in celebrating Bill, his life, his contributions and his legacy in Los Angeles, 2012. He said the time has come for us to be connected with one vision.

In Friendship and commitment,

Carleen Glasser

A Revised Glasser Book PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 18 September 2011 13:05

Back in 1984 Dr. Glasser published a book called, "Take Effective Control of Your Life". It was his "latest work" when Dr. Glasser came to Ireland in 1985 and started a process that was to become WGII. At a later date he changed the name of the book to "Control Theory" and has always acknowledged his great indebtedness to William T. Powers who taught Glasser about his own Control Theory. In the years since then Dr. Glasser has changed this theory and added his own components establishing it as the theoretical underlay of Reality Therapy, Glasser Quality Schools and Lead Management.

 

As a theory of human behaviour this new "Choice Theory" had in fact become a psychological theory. In recent years Dr. Glasser has stressed just how important this new psychology is for general personal well-being ("mental health"). The first decade of the new century saw him revise earlier works in line with this new Choice Theory Psychology and finally it is the turn of "Take Effective Control of Your Life". He has taken this opportunity to reframe the book in Choice Theory terms. The new book, "Take Charge of Your Life" is due to be published soon and we hope to keep you informed here about its availability.

Dr. Phil McGraw, known to international television audiences as "Dr. Phil" has written "This book is a 'game changer' for anyone ready to become the Captain of their own ship. Going far beyond theory and philosophy this powerful book is a hands-on guide to creating, rather than just observing one's life. A must read and more than once."

WELCOME TO CHOICE THEORY PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 23 December 2009 01:23

The William Glasser Institute Ireland is a non-profit making body established in 1989 to help plan and co-ordinate courses in Reality Therapy, Choice Theory, Quality School Education, Lead Management and Personal Well-being. Our goal is to help people improve the quality of their personal lives and relationships through the promotion and teaching of Choice Theory.

Choice Theory is a new explanation of human behaviour. It challenges many traditional views about human behaviour:

  • how we live our lives
  • how we relate to others
  • how we interpret "mental illness"
  • how we understand education
  • how we view management

 Learning Choice Theory can give a whole new perspective on life:

  • new ways to live our lives
  • more satisfactory ways to deal with the relationships in our lives
  • a deeper and more hopeful understanding of mental distress
  • an alternative to many of the destructive practices in education
  • a more satisfactory and productive approach to management

For these reasons our courses have a broad appeal as they can help people at an individual level as well as in relationships (partners, children, students, workers).
