Summary

Redecision therapy has roots in transactional analysis, as originated by Eric Berne, and Gestalt therapy, as developed by Fritz and Laura Perls. The action-oriented treatment model created by Bob and Mary Goulding in the 1960s is built around contracting for change, insisting on a language of self-responsibility, enacting change within the therapy session, and encouraging action outside the therapy session.
