In this book Dr. Glasser explains that psychiatry, lured by billions of drug industry dollars, has completely rejected mental health for the false and hazardous concept of mental illness. He explains that the basic human problem is not mental illness; it is unhappiness. The book is written for anybody who takes psychiatric drugs, is involved in any kind of psychiatric treatment, or is unhappy and doesn't know how to regain his or her mental health. Based on Choice Theory® , this book can supplement counseling or be used instead of counseling.
Dr Glasser has often counselled parents and teenagers, healing shattered families and changing lives with his advice. Now, in his first book on the lessons he has learned, he asks parents to reject the "common sense" that tells them to "lay down the law" by grounding teens, or try to coerce them into changing their behaviour. These strategies have never worked, asserts Dr Glasser, and never will. Instead he offers a different approach based upon Choice Theory. Glasser spells out the seven deadly habits parents practice, and then shows them how to accomplish goals by changing their own behaviour. Most important, however, in this book he provides a groundbreaking method that all parents can use with confidence and love to keep a strong relationship with their child.
In this book Dr Glasser follows up his 1965 bestseller, Reality Therapy, by explaining how Choice Theory has been totally integrated into reality therapy.

This book provides a clear understanding of reality therapy and choice theory and is destined to become a textbook reference for students, professionals, and anyone who chooses to incorporate these ideas into their lives.
