Glasser’s View of Mental Health
Mental health is accumulation of behaviorsBehaviors that cause person to be labeled
with a mental disorder are under their control
Negative behaviors are an attempt to meet needs
Mental disorders overemphasize the role of external factors instead of personal responsibility
