ADLERIAN THEORY

ADLERIAN THEORY

KEY CONCEPTS:
"Thinking, feeling, emotion, and behavior can only be understood as subordinated to the individual's style of life, or consistent pattern of dealing with life.  The individual is not internally divided or the battleground of conflicting forces.  Each aspect of the personality points in the same direction" (Gerald & Corey, 2013).

PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THEORY:
Alfred Adler (1870-1937)


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GOAL(S) OF THE THEORY:
"Collaborative arrangement between the client and the counselor.  In general, the therapeutic process includes forming a relationship based on mutual respect; a holistic psychological investigation or lifestyle assessment; and disclosing mistaken goals and faulty assumptions within the person's style of living. (Gerald and Corey, 2013)"

TECHNIQUES USED:
"Favor the growth model of personality rather than the medical model.  Clients explore private logic, the concepts about self, others, and life that constitute the philosophy on which an individual's lifestyle is based."
 
Phase 1 - Establish the Relationship
Phase 2 - Explore the Individual's Psychological Dynamics
Phase 3 - Encourage Self-Understanding and Insight
Phase 4 - Reorientation and Reeducation
