Adlerian Paper

Bang! You door just got broken down by German officers. They yell at you and treat you with disrespect. They accuse you as a Jew and take you to a concentration camp. Well that's what it was like during the Holocaust. Hearing things about the bloodshed history makes you not wanna be alive during that time period, but a boy named Zigmond had to deal with the compelling plans of Hitler.

The Adlerian Theory is a holistic view point that approaches the client as a whole, indivisible being who is capable of growth (Erford et al., 2016). I chose this theory because it provides a framework for understanding a person in his or her own environment (Dufenen, Henderson and Eckart, 2016). This theory can be applied to Deidre as well as help her through the issues that she has.

Upon watching the movie Antwone Fisher, I found that Psychodynamic theory and Adlerian theory would serve well to treating the movie’s main character, Antwone. Antwone is an African American man who struggles with his emotionally unstable life. He joined the Navy after leaving Cleveland, but was plagued with anger and temperament issues which stem from his childhood. These issues, upon watching further into the movie, are associated with the emotional and physical abuse that was inflicted upon him via varying authoritarian figures from his foster family. These childhood issues have since caused Antwone to struggle finding a self-image and identity that he can call his very own.

Wernher Von Braun was a German born scientist. He would make the V-2 Rocket for the Nazi’s (Dungan). But soon he would start making rockets for Americans (Madrigal). Was Wernher Von Braun a Nazi or a scientist.

When dealing with developmental psychology and the role authority plays it is vital to understand who/what is in charge of us. Our parents are responsible for our psychological development into adults, but life situations, and worldly achievements play equal roles according to the YouTube video “Status Anxiety” by The School of Life. This video described the issue of status anxiety, in which a person questions their self-worth based on their position in society. The creator of the video outlined the problems status anxiety creates, ranging from failure to depression, to suicide. The creator also pointed out that such issues only occur in meritocracies and modern societies. Though intriguing is the parallelism between Erikson’s maladaptive tendencies and the hardships that are common in modern nations.

Robert Adler helped advance the improvement of technology throughout his life, but when and where was he born? Who were his siblings and parents? Well guess what you’ll get to learn all about Robert Adler’s childhood right now. Robert Adler was born in Vienna, Austria on December 4th 1913. His mother was named Jenny Adler and his father was named Max Adler. Robert had one sibling and his name was Lenore Adler.

Adler begins his essay in making statements, about "Reading between the lines". It was a strong opening into the topic. Throughout the reading, you can tell Adler writes in an argumentative tone. You can also tell he is highly fervent about this subject matter. The author believes that a person really owns a book when a person has written in the book. Additionally, the author convinces readers that writing in a book has many benefits from it. First, writing in a book makes one brainstorm. Another, marking up helps one to remember ideas that the reader had. For this reason, writing comments can help to conserve one's reactions better. Also, Alder explains the three different kinds of book owners. In addition, Adler gives a couple helpful hints

their clients with a diagnosis but looks for mistakes in thinking and values to help them

The technique would be guiding the client to help themselves and re-learn, and think for themselves. The old thinking and behavior pattern should be looked on and disregarded making way for the positive lifestyles. Rather, it’s a long term or short term the Adlerian counseling is primarily interest is an interpretation, working with the client to understand what is occurring in their lives. The strength of a good therapy session would be encouraged, and variety of options for the client to experience over a period of time. The Adlerian therapy is to observe how the client is doing in their new life style. The individual would take on the perception of their past experiences and how they view themselves, rather it’s by others and the world.

It could speak to why Adler was more “democratic” and would meet with people at coffeehouses rather than in a more professional setting. Freud’s perspective would try to link Adler’s personality back to some childhood trauma, or to some motive of sex or anger(aggression). Freud would attempt to bring the unconscious into the conscious mind through psychotherapy. In earlier times he would have used the “forceful method, or power of suggestion”, often leading the patient to feel some sort in later years he would have used the more passive method of therapy to help the patient

In Adlerian counseling, it has been structured around four central objectives and they are one to establish the proper therapeutic relationship. The second is to explore the psychological dynamics operating on the client. The second objective is the assessment of the client. The third one is to encourage the development of self-understanding and the last one is to help the client make new choices. In the first phase, the client and the therapist are working together in ways to make a relationship. The client and the therapist want to have a relationship that is deep, caring and is involved. In phase one, the client and the therapist should make a person-to- person contact. Once you make contact with each other you can find out “problem”.

Alfred Adler was born in Vienna, Austria on February 7, 1870. From his birth he had rickets, a disease that weakens the growth plates in children, and couldn’t walk until he was four years of age because of this. When he was just five, he was taken sick with pneumonia and reportedly almost died, some believe these early diseases in his life are the inspiration in Adler’s path to becoming a physician.

Adler’s theory of individual psychology focuses mainly on viewing the world through the client’s perspective. Yet, this concept represents a major task for therapists who just want to work with this theory, as therapists will be doing a comprehensive assessment known as the family constellation for every client that comes into their office for therapy. Overall, I think that this assessment could be very useful if you are trying to get a general perspective of the client’s major area of success, failures, and how they pursue life. However, at the same time, this assessment also has a disadvantage, and that is that it is a very long questionnaire to fill out just in one session.

Adler sees inferiority feelings as a motivator to strive for useful activity and progress. The first battle is to break out of the vicious cycle wherein inferior feel-ings lower self confidence and self esteem to become a self-fulfilling prophesy for the negative. The patient needs to be “encouraged” to have courage to face potential failure by working hard to achieve realistic goals that are not the self-defeating perfectionism of the all or nothing irrational thinking. Focusing on the peak areas of one’s strengths can compensate to bring up the

The main purpose about this paper is to conduct and provide information about Adler’s theory, based on individual psychology that describes an individual who either strives for success or empowerment. Alfred Alder is a psychologist who studies based on societal and parent’s influences toward the child. Then, he/she would have a decision to make to obtain a certain personality. Children tend to have a capacity to pick onto what they want to have which is a creative power by the age 4-5, which is called sense of inferiority. In other words, they try having a sense of them self. Based on these terms between success and superiority they are described in two different interpretations. Success is a person who is striving for success, and the other individual who is striving for superiority, by having power is to belittle someone else just to feel great about them self. In other words, their focus would be all about them and would suggest that they’re always correct giving out statements that’s occurring or about the situation.
