Introduction
Twenty-four-year-old Ana arrived to the clinic thirty minutes early. She exhibits
depressive symptoms and worrisome conduct. Cognitive, Cognitive Behavioral, or Reality
Theory treatment would be beneficial for Ana. A study by Glass, Arnkoff, and Rodriguez (2018)
found that reality theory, cognitive, and cognitive-behavioral therapy are all successful methods
for treating depression and anxiety. According to the study, reality therapy appeared to be
effective in assisting clients in overcoming challenges and leading more satisfying lives. I think
this would be the best course of action for Ana because her symptoms match the main areas of
concentration in reality therapy. I am certain that Ana will gain a great deal from reality therapy
and eventually live a happy life when my personal beliefs and expectations are added to the
therapeutic exposure.
Relevant Concepts
Reality Therapy incorporates a number of philosophies that together support and
, elucidate the idea that behavior and emotion are the result of own decisions. In summary, outside
factors are considered unnecessary since a person's response is always their own, regardless of
the situation (Murdock, 2012). The basic needs for love and belonging are the focus of another
important component of reality therapy. Relationships are crucial in the application of Reality
Therapy, which acknowledges these demands as paramount (Murdock, 2012). Ana appears to
give weight to a number of outside variables that are beyond of her control in this
instance.Additionally, the material she included points to a possible lack of relationships by
implying a lack of solid romantic or social ties. Because Reality Theory and Choice Theory are
compatible, it offers a quick and practical way to improve Ana's quality of life. She can change
