Review

Higher Reality Therapy offers a wealth of accumulated wisdom that moves beyond the therapeutic to the redemptive by suggesting that a "Higher Reality" not only exists but awaits each of us, if only we allow ourselves to be as we were made to be. -- M.J. (Mimi) Marrocco, PhD, Director of Continuing Education University of St. Michael's College (University of Toronto)

Written in a relaxed and accessible style, Higher Reality Therapy includes philosophy, psychology, ancient wisdom teachings of eastern and western spiritual traditions, and the Enneagram of personality. Tony guides readers in their understanding and appreciation of the deepest roots of human suffering; he offers practical tools to move us beyond the limitations of the ego mind and awakens us to our True Self. -- Moira Canes, Enneagram Teacher and Co-Founder of the Transpersonal Therapy Center, Toronto

Tony brings a new focus to the Enneagram by looking at the nine styles through the lenses of philosophical psychoanalysis,"A Course in Miracles," and higher reality therapy. -- Jerome Wagner, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of The Enneagram Spectrum of Personality Styles

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2013
Philosopher Anthony Falikowski asks us to consider A Course in Miracles and the Enneagram as being a rebuttal to Reality Therapy.

Falikowski explains why he views William Glasser's Reality Therapy to be a system of psychological thought constructed by someone under the ego sway of the Enneagram type eight energy. (The Challenger, Riso-Hudson). He contrasts Glasser's narrow, meager world-view with the broader, expansive world-view presented by Marianne Williamson in her writing regarding A Course in Miracles.

And he concludes that what Reality Therapy presents as being "real" is really what many fixated Enneatype eights see as all that is real.

This author is a serious scholar who marshals the thought of Chuang-Tzu, Heraclitus, Epictetus, St. Paul, A.H. Almaas, and others to question the wisdom of basing a school of psychotherapy on satisfying needs pertaining to survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

Though he doesn't reference 1950s singer Peggy Lee, Falikowski seems to be asking of Dr. Glasser's Reality Therapy, "Is that all there is?"

And to this question he directs the reader to A Course in Miracles where thoughts such as the following are encountered: "The holiness in you belongs to him (your Brother). And by seeing it in him, returns to you." (Falikowski, page 158)

Summing Up: I think Falikowski is being fair; I do not think he is construing Reality Therapy to be a one-size-fits-all straw man to knock down. This is a compelling work which fairly asks this question of Dr. Glasser: Dr. Glasser, aren't you as a doctor of the human psyche missing something?
