Kniha Terapie realitou je základním dílem stejnojmenného terapeutického směru. William Glasser svou terapeutickou metodou vymezuje nový a pozitivní přístup k pomoci emociálně narušeným lidem. Zpochybňuje obvyklou koncepci duševní choroby a ortodoxní freudovské metody. Tvrdí, že duševně nemocní lidé nedokážou realisticky uspokojovat své potřeby a chovají se neodpovědně proto, že odmítají realitu okolního světa. Glasserova terapeutická metoda se nezabývá pacientovou minulostí, ale jeho přítomností a budoucností. Terapeutovým úkolem je naučit klienta osvojovat si schopnost naplnit své potřeby a dělat to způsobem, který zároveň o možnost naplňovat své potřeby nepřipravuje ostatní. Své teorie autor dokládá praktickými příklady z klinické a pedagogické praxe. Kniha, která se po svém vydání stala světovým bestsellerem, je určena nejen čtenářům se zájmem o populární psychologickou literaturu, ale i odborníkům v oblasti psychologie a psychoterapie a studentům těchto oborů.
