Personality in reality therapy

Abstract

The author of Reality Therapy and Choice Therapy does not see the construct of personality as an inter­nal ‘entity’ with causal role of behaviour with genuine explanatory power. For him it is a secondary factor inferred on the basis of the consistency of behaviour – while other processes play the critical causal roles and dictating the behaviour – and, hence, it has little explanatory power in Choice Theory. In the article I describe the concept of the personality in the Choice Theory and/or Reality Therapy and some speciality of this concept.
