Abstract

The guidance/curriculum component of the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) National Model is designed to promote mental health and to enhance academic achievement. The role of school counselors is to deliver short-term individual and group services. The large ratio of students to school counselors necessitates the use of approaches that can provide effective interventions for students within a short period of time. The Reality Therapy process helps students move from a problem focus to choosing more effective behaviors. This article provides a brief example and discussion of how Reality Therapy and Choice Theory can be successfully employed in a school counseling scenario.
