Amy Christensen’s Reviews > Reality Therapy: A New Approach to Psychiatry > Status Update

It has become clear to me that Glasser’s Reality Therapy is the model used by the egregiously abusive troubled teen industry. I am saddened and nauseous over this realization

There is an element of happiness in disgust. I will finish this book. I’m enjoying the fact that I vehemently disagree with it and find it malignant and dangerous

Oh my gods! I’m going to need to give myself a present for finishing this piece of shit! Yes! Let’s shame the patient! Call them irresponsible for contracting an ulcer and form a codependent relationship! This isn’t therapy, it’s a cult!

I will finish this book. I hate it though. I think the theory is over simplified and arrogant. It blames the victim for reacting to trauma and calls them “weak.”

Oh my Goddess! The rampant homophobia misogyny and racism! So patriarchal. 🤮

I am currently struggling to see past the rampant misogyny, racism, and victim blaming
