Adlerian Therapy

The Adlerian approach to therapy, rooted in the work of Alfred Adler, emphasizes the holistic understanding of individuals within their social context. This approach views each person as a unique individual, shaped by their experiences, beliefs, and social connections. Adlerian therapy focuses on exploring the individual's lifestyle, early memories, and family dynamics to understand their core beliefs and patterns of behavior.

A key component of this approach is the concept of social interest, which involves fostering a sense of belonging and contribution to the greater community. Adlerian therapy encourages clients to develop healthier, more constructive ways of living by enhancing their self-awareness, changing faulty beliefs, and adopting a more socially connected, purpose-driven outlook. By doing so, clients can overcome feelings of inferiority and develop a greater sense of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives.
