Product Description
Adler, Freud, and Jung were the key figures in the development of psychology as we know it. Yet, while Freud and Jung are widely studied and debated, Adler is far less well known. Nonetheless, as Loren Grey demonstrates, some of Adler's novel early precepts are valuable tools for personality diagnosis, even to this day. Examples include his belief in the social equality of all human beings, regardless of race, position, class, or gender; that all human behavior is logical--however bizarre or psychotic its goal may be; that mistaken precepts about others, being learned, can be unlearned; and in the importance of understanding the dynamics behind the family interactions with particular emphasis on the ordinal position of each child in the family constellation. Many of these ideas, though ignored or rejected by the early Freudians and Jungians, have become part of the post-Freudian movements in psychology and counseling. In this book, Grey systematically examines the life and ideas of Alfred Adler as well as the approaches taken by his leading students. Many of Adler's early supporters felt that he was 100 years ahead of his time; Grey demonstrates that many of his approaches can serve humanity well in the new millennium. This text provides an important survey for students, scholars, and practitioners of psychology.

Product Description
Advanced Theory of Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy gives an account of Adlerian therapy and counseling from its origins to the present day. It also proposes an advanced version of the theory in which the main principles and concepts of Adler's thinking are re-examined from a contemporary perspective, placing them in the context of other contemporary approaches. Adler's techniques are described then applied to an understanding of what an Adlerian approach to family life would look like, using clinical examples throughout. The authors analyze the possible contribution of Adlerian theory in the context of the challenges of postmodern thought and postmodern society. It will be invaluable to professionals, practitioners and students of counseling and psychotherapy.

Product Description
Alfred Adler along with his contemporary, Sigmund Freud, are founding figures in the field of psychology and psychotherapy. Although the two were colleagues, Adlerian theory stands in sharp contrast to Freud's early work, and unlike the latter, it has withstood the test of time more effectively regarding its relevance for today's patients and clinicians. This theory, also known as Individual Psychology, stresses the unity of the individual, the subjective choices he or she makes, and the goals the individual works toward as he or she moves through life. Therapists can apply this theory in a variety of settings with populations of all ages, making it a highly practical and valuable approach.
A Primer of Adlerian Psychology offers an accessible, yet very learned, introduction to this school of thought. Written by two scholars with extensive knowledge and experience in Adlerian Psychology, this book covers the basic tenets of Individual Psychology geared toward those students and clinicians who from which the reader can evaluate Adler's theories and where those theories stand today.
The authors have written the book with students in mind and have taken every opportunity to create a user-friendly primer. To help reinforce the lessons taught throughout the book, each chapter concludes with a summary of main points and review questions. Together with the authors' impressive scholarship, this book is an invaluable introductory text for any student or professional interested in learning about this ever practical and dynamic approach to psychotherapy.

ALFRED ADLERS work in psychology, while it is scientific and general in method, is essentially the study of the separate personalities we are, and is therefore called Individual Psychology. Concrete, particular, unique human beings are the subjects of this psychology, and it can only be truly learned from the men, women and chil dren we meet. The supreme importance of this contribution to modern psychology is due to the manner in which it reveals how all the activities of the soul are drawn together into the service of the individual, how all his faculties and strivings are related to one end. We are enabled by this to enter into the ideals, the difficulties, the efforts and discourage ments of our fellow-men, in such a way that we may obtain a whole and living picture of each as a personality. In this co-ordinating idea, some thing like finality is achieved, though we must 9 A THE SCIENCE OF LIVING understand it as finality of foundation. There has never before been a method so rigorous and yet adaptable for following the fluctuations of that most fluid, variable and elusive of all real ities, the individual human soul. Since Adler regards not only science but even intelligence itself as the result of the communal efforts of humanity, we shall find his conscious ness of his own unique contribution more than usually tempered by recognition of his collabora tors, both past and contemporary. It will there fore be useful to consider Adlers relation to the movement called Psycho-analysis, and first of all to recall, however briefly, the philosophic im pulses which inspired the psycho-analytic move ment as a whole. The conception of the Unconscious as vital memory biological memory is common to modern psychology as a whole. But Freud, from the first a specialist in hysteria, took the mem ories of success or failure in the sexual life, as of the first and almost the only importance. Jung, a psychiatrist of genius, has tried to widen this distressingly narrow view, by seeking to re veal the super-individual or racial memories 10 A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR AND HIS WORK which, he believes, have as much power as the sexual and a higher kind of value for life. It was left to Alfred Adler, a physician of wide and general experience, to unite the con ception of the Unconscious more firmly with biological reality. A man of the original school of psycho-analysts, he had done much work by that method of analyzing memories out of their coagulated emotional state into clearness and ob jectivity. But he showed that the whole scheme of memory is different in every individual. In dividuals do not form their unconscious memories all around the same central motive not all around sexuality, for instance. In every indi vidual we find an individual way of selecting its experiences from all possible experience. What is the principle of that selectivity Adler has an swered that it is, fundamentally, the organic con sciousness of a need, of some specific inferiority which has to be compensated. It is as though every soul had consciousness of its whole physical reality, and were concentrated, with sleepless in sistence, upon achieving compensation for the defects in it...
