Adlerian Brief Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples

Creation of Life Style in Three Acts is a didactic and experiential workshop based on the psychology developed by Alfred Adler.

Act II focuses on family relationships, including your arrival into the family and the first five yours of your life including the perceptions, images, and relationships that you experienced. Act III focuses on the creation of life style based on specific elements of childhood and the adaptations necessary as you enter the larger world outside the home. Emphasis will be on the practical application of Adlerian psychology and the workshop will be conducted modeling empathy, encouragement, equality, and ethics in an educational setting.
