Historical Note

The items in the collection, particularly in the Adler and the First Generations, document the earliest days of the study of psychology, though many materials reflect the changes the profession has seen. The items in the General Collection document development of psychological research and practice up to the present day, but the bulk of the collection relates to Dr. Mosak’s studies and teachings and includes work from his contemporaries, including Dr. Rudolf Dreikurs, and scholarship that builds off Dr. Mosak’s work.

Scope and Content Note

The collection contains published materials, scholarship, ephemera, and press, created by the Adlerian community at large, and collected by Dr. Harold H. Mosak, as well as his teaching materials, writings, ephemera, and his correspondence.
