1.
Responsibility, a concept basic to reality therapy, is here defined
as the ability to fulfill one's needs, and to do so in a way that
does not deprive others of the ability to fulfill their needs. TO
illustrate, a responsible person is able to give and accept love.
If a girl, for example, falls in love with a responsible man, we
would expect him either to return her affection or to make her
aware, in a considerate way that he appreciates her feelings, but
that he does not share them. However, if he takes advantage of her
love, we would not consider him responsible.
