The Choice Theory approach to addictive behavior does not rely on external controlling methods to make someone do something they don't want to do. Instead, the Choice Theory approach is discovering what and how the client really would want his/her life to be; identifying the important people in their life; evaluating the client's choices and how those choices either helped or harmed their relationships; allowing them the freedom and respect to make their own decisions on how to improve their life; and creating a plan on how to get what they want in their life. Clients are more inclined to ...

A Choice Theory Approach to Drug and Alcohol Abuse offers a new approach to treating drug and/or alcohol abuse. It is valuable not only to an alcoholic or addict, but to those who love or live with one. Mike uses Dr. William Glasser's Choice Theory to deal with the sociological and psychological withdrawals by reestablishing values, creating new wants and goals, and creating new or reconnecting relationships with the important people in one’s life. Added to this is learning new methods to deal with unhappiness instead of trying to bypass it with short term pleasure from a drug.

This is a fictional story based upon the Turin Shroud. DNA is extracted from a blood spatter and used to produce a clone.

His book goes far beyond simple behavioral recommendations to the underlying causes, specifically the poor relationships in our lives which are the result of an external control belief system. Michael uses an easy to read, conversational ...

Happiness is a state of mind that everyone seeks to attain and maintain each and every day of their life. All of our daily behavior serves the purpose of acquiring that happiness. We have certain basic genetic psychological needs and in order to achieve happiness, we are hard-wired to seek to have these needs met. If not achieved, a person will develop any number of creative behaviors in an attempt to get these needs met or to compensate for their absence. It could be stated that the struggle for happiness is the driving force behind what may be considered to be normal, as well as abnormal,...
