What does WDEP stand for in reality therapy?

• A. Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning and Commitment
• B. Wishes, Doing, Evaluation, Planning and Commitment
• C. Wants, Doing, Assessment, Planning and Commitment
• D. Wants, Acting, Evaluation, Planning and Commitment

Answer: (A)

In reality therapy, the WDEP process guides a client through four (often five) practical steps to initiate change: identify Wants (what the client wants to achieve or value in life), examine Doing (the actions currently taken to meet those wants), evaluate (assess how well those actions are working and whether they align with the client’s values and reality), and plan (design new actions to pursue those wants, with Commitment to follow through). The version that includes Planning and Commitment reflects this emphasis on not just making a plan, but committing to it to ensure real change. That’s why the option with Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning and Commitment is the best fit. Other wordings, like Wishes or Assessment, don’t align with the standard terminology, and Acting is a close idea to Doing but isn’t the conventional term used in this model.
