I would like to find out just how effective is these two when working with the different cultural in prison while trying to keep them focus on the postive instead of the negtive. And should I just choose the reality side, cause they both seem the same to me. Right now there is alot of Cognitive behavior being used. Thank you will be looking for your reply.

Dear Glenda,

Whether people are different in culture or not, basically reality therapy tries to help people to be aware of their present situation, condition here and now, and of what they are doing. Another theory, for example, cognitive approach or any can be use at the same time if the process of counseling does not working anymore. This what we call eclective counseling approach. Thank. John
