Adlerian Psychotherapy: An Advanced Approach to Individual Psychology (Advancing Theory in Therapy)

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.
