Dr. William Glasser expresses there is a real need for psychological insight. His premise was simply to expect human normality even in the presence of abnormality.
A key concept of Reality Therapy is the rejection of irresponsible, abnormal behavior, without rejecting the person. A key counseling concept in CCRT is to strengthen and build a counseling relationship even amid counseling conflict which challenges the client's irresponsible behavior. CCRT, treatment plans should challenge the client's bad behavior objectively and overtly. Many counseling modalities avoid challenges thus settling for a revolving door of problems for the client. What is real (normal)? The center point for man is God, and He expresses this in His Word, the 66 books of the Bible. This provides the absolute unlimited baseline for normal. God being perfect, He is the absolute ground zero for normal.
Thus, anything outside of God and His perfection is abnormal. This includes you and me. Next you apply the morals and ethics of Christianity as defined in the Bible. The integration of the concept of normal is focusing on man's mind, body and spirit.
Applying these fundamental principles to Reality Therapy, the new concept is reformulated into Christ Centered Reality Therapy. This concept is utterly rejected by the world system. The counseling world today has become a pseudo-passive, anything goes, politically correct, relativistic culture asking, "What is normal?"
Christ Centered Reality Therapy utilizes a full range of counseling techniques and introduces a new set of technical tools and principles. CCRT is a body of work which agrees with the foundational theory of Reality Therapy and applies the absolutes of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
