This Quality World consists of pictures of those experiences, people, animals, plants, places and objects which have given the individual pleasure since shortly after birth and is continually undergoing modification as the individual has new experiences. The choices an individual makes at any time are aimed at developing a parallelism between the outer, real world and the individuals inner, unique Quality World. Of these, the first two components are always voluntary whereas the feeling and physiology can only be changed by the individual making changes in acting and thinking. Glasser also specifies that all behaviour is ‘total behaviour’ and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology. All behaviour is the result of an individual’s desire to satisfy one or more of these needs and is internally motivated, purposeful, flexible and creative. He specifies five basic needs: survival, power, fun, freedom and love and belonging, the latter being the most important. The basis for any given choice is the desire to move from the pain of unfulfilled needs to the pleasure of fulfilled needs.

The fundamental paradigm of William Glasser’s Choice Theory is that all behaviour is, either consciously or unconsciously, chosen. To gain an understanding of Glasser’s approach and methodology one needs to become familiar with the core concepts of Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Quality. His wife, Carleen Glasser, has also written a number of student activity books for learning Choice Theory in the classroom.Schools which embrace Glasser’s educational model are entitled to seek accreditation, through The William Glasser Institute, as a Quality School. He is the author of twenty books, at least five of which deal specifically with education. His “The William Glasser Institute” based in California now has branches in an increasing number of countries around the world. William Glasser, an engineer turned psychiatrist and counsellor, has become an extremely influential force in the shaping of educational thought and has developed a world wide infrastructure to develop and implement his ideas and methods in schools.
