MACP 673 - Advanced Adlerian Intervention

3
The theoretical principles of Individual Psychology (IP) including holism, phenomenology, teleology, and social interest are applied to address the cognitive, affective, socio-cultural dimensions of personality development. The impact of unique and creative perception in the formation of an individual’s self, ethical, and world view will be demonstrated. Adlerian personality assessment or style of life will be emphasized as an assessment tool in the cache of the IP practitioner. Family constellation (system), early memories, dreams, life tasks, and their meaningful significance and usefulness will be used to gain an understanding of each client’s unique personality development. Adlerian concepts will be practically applied to approaches to counselling and therapy. Interventions that are congruent with theoretical assumptions such as social interest, holism, phenomenology, and teleology will be examined. The life style assessment will be used to develop comprehensive, diverse and culturally specific treatment plans and goals. Adlerian therapeutic techniques will be examined and practiced.
