Whether we are conscious of it or not, we see everything that we do before we do it.

“Choices” holds that all human beings have an essential, foundational need for love. In most cases, if not all cases, beneath behavioral, social, and emotional problems and issues, lies an unsatisfied love need. We all have a need to give and receive love. Lesson 1 defines love need and helps students identify their love need. Our culture, as well as all human cultures, has a myriad of concepts, definitions, and application of the word love. Taking the general confusion we seem to have about it

“Choices” teaches that we need control and defines control as the management of power through the management of one’s self. Control plays a major role in the meeting of needs in that we must control something to meet any need. From our beginning as modern humans, we have had problems with control. All frustration, anger, arguments, conflicts, fights, and wars involve control issues. At some point, all disruptions in human relationships involve control issues. “Choices” makes the basic assumpti

Many, if not all, disruptive behaviors are attempts to meet love, power, freedom, and/or fun needs. The needs are legitimate; the behavior is not. When students learn to meet their needs adequately and appropriately, disruptive behaviors will diminish and disappear. This lesson looks at helping students meet their fun need appropriately. “Choices” teaches that we need fun and defines fun as creative problem solving.

(The purchase of one license allows for thirty copies for the buyer's use) “Choices” sees the individual human as an integrated whole being with physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions. While integrated, these aspects have hierarchal characteristics from physical, to mental, to spiritual. The ultimate spiritual need of humans involves knowledge of one’s place in the universe, the affirmation of personal existence, and a settled sense of being. While many people look to religion to meet their

All inappropriate human behaviors, from childish spats to global wars, are the product of unmet control need—one person trying to control another person, one group trying to control another group. Too often, we react to such behaviors out of our own unmet control need. For we often react to anger with anger. We can only meet our control need by internally controlling our thoughts, choices, and actions and by externa

Emotions are functional aspects, indicators of mental needs. “Choices” maintains that all feelings indicate the status of our needs. For the sake of clarity, “Choices” discusses physical sensations, mental emotions, and spiritual affections with regard to feelings in each of these essential dimensions. Since our endocrine and n

At any given moment, we are the product of all the choices we have made up to that point. Freedom is the capacity to make choices that satisfactorily meet our needs. We have a need for freedom, and we meet our freedom need when make a choice from available options to meet a presenting need. Since we choose all our behaviors, our freedom need comes into play every time we ac
