African-Centered Reality Therapy Parenting: An Alternative Paradigm

Abstract

African-centered reality therapy provides a foundation for restructuring parenting. It has as its foundation an African worldview connected to reality therapy. The components of this paradigm are the task environment and the procedures that lead to change as defined by its epistemological and axiological systems. This parenting style teaches the basic needs as the key to empowerment. These needs are essential for making a shift to African-centered reality therapy parenting. This foundation connects African-centered reality therapy with parenting intervention and treatment.
