Adler Institute for Continuing Education

The creation of a distinctive Institute as part of AGS allows the graduate school to focus on training new professionals for state licensure requirements, national certification standards, and the ability necessary to move from state-to-state. By adding a complementary institute for professional development, we will also honor our beginnings as a close-knit group of professionals who came together for the free exchange of ideas, guiding principles of social interest, and the ongoing development and promotion of Adlerian Psychology.  This ongoing exchange of ideas will serve to support and revitalize both current and future members of our Adlerian community, honor Adlerian traditions, and lead to new or enhanced programming here at the Adler Graduate School.

Adlerian principles and lifestyle were part of my DNA although, of course, I didn’t know it as such. My family believed in community and treating everyone with kindness and compassion. Perhaps, it was this upbringing which drew me to Adler Graduate School. I see it as living, breathing embodiment of all that is Adlerian, as strong or as weak as the people who work here and attend as students. Much of what is Adler, is not found in books, but in people. It is for this reason that I continue my affiliation with AGS. I sincerely hope to continue the tradition that is Adler by helping to develop a strong connection among AGS, its graduates and the community within which we serve.
