Reading the book of Kishimi and Koga (The Courage to be disliked) brings a fair deal of Adlerian thinking in a very appealing way together. Not complex at all! Rather straight forward and in my opinion very powerful, insightful and helpful for people who have the courage to dive deep in their understanding of life. A perspective that is natural and takes away a lot of decoration that is unnecessary in life. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! :-)

Gijs Nooteboom thank you

Just a note: The concept of birth order has less empirical support because most empirical support focuses on chronological birth order rather than psychological birth order, as Adler intended it. It is a common misconception. So, though one may have chronologically been born first, they may psychologically be a middle child within their family system.

As a Social Worker I use Alderian Therapy daily during home visits

Many thanks for this breakdown of Adlerian Therapy. One of my favorite theories to explore because of its complexities.

Thank you Dr for the explanation. I’m going to practice Adlerian therapy for my first ever Counseling session. I hope to do it well.

I recently did some research on Adlerian Therapy. It was interesting to learn that its the source of the inferiority and superiority complex, as well as the correct concepts associated with these terms. Also, the development and acceptance of play therapy is fascinating. I appreciate Adlerian Therapy as a positive humanistic therapy, particularly the emphasis on individuals striving for success. I also like the components of education, social interest, especially responsibility in society, and insight. It offers creative and useful techniques. I have seen some of these techniques used in support groups. After viewing the role-plays, which demonstrate these techniques, I look forward to putting them into practice. I think this therapy can be easily integrated with other modalities.

Adler was a major contributor to understanding human personality development.

Thank you Dr. Grande. I am going to give this therapy a try with my new therapist. She is trained in this school of therapy.

Very thorough explanation! I love listening to your wisdom.:) Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.:)

Thank Dr for your insight. This video is very helpful for the emerging counselor.

Found it very interesting and I am reading right now Adler.

Thank you for your content!

I like this therapy, really. A very integrated/holistic approach.

The main insight from Adler is its complete negation of “trauma”. This word is way overused and it goes to show how deeply Freudian ideas have saturated the culture. I’d like to see this general trauma approach to everything replaced with something more empowering and Adlerian. No event is a cause of trauma, no matter what it is. It’s the meaning you choose (or chose) to give to it. Powerful idea.

I looked up Adler therapy and forgot Doc Grande used to do this kind of content.

isn't Aderian therapy first of all psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy? With some humanistic/positive traits

Thanks Dr. Grande. That treatment modality sounds useful except for the suppositions about birth order. Isn't it true that in the same way an educational program works best when the main goal teachers have in mind is teaching students how to learn more while learning what they need to when getting a start in the work world in the way that the same philiosophy could be applied when applying Adlerian Therapy and other kinds of treatment models?

The style of life aspect is interesting as far as how people create solutions to make their goals achievable based on experiences from their childhood, striving for superiority based on the feelings or experiences of inferiority in the past. This a very complex therapy, I appreciate the overview.

The video is helpful to gain a base understanding of this intricate theory. In my opinion, the "acting as if" technique may result in a temporary superficial practice for the long-term however, effective for interim progress. I think my level of understanding is unable to differentiate acting "as if" versus being told "should's". I can see if they are able to consistently act "as if" that it may manifest into being "as if". At that point, hopefully they would be able to resolve all the contributing antecedents that were the reasons they were not able to be and needed to act. Thank you for these videos!

I would say there is no being as if - as if implies a sense of I don't really think I am this way yet but if I act as if I will become that way through successfully integrating those particular practised qualities traits etc through repetition

Thank you so much can you give me a basic understanding of Rational Emotive Behaviour therapy.

Sometimes I wonder how some theories to do with skewed human perspective that derive from childhood experiences are arrived at without the theory itself being unduly skewed by the creator of such theories own childhood experiences. Large amounts of objective data does not seem to resolve the issue since the interpretation of large amounts of data comes through a mind that is never without skewed perspectives from childhood (ie, religious beliefs, secular beliefs, philosophical beliefs, etc.). I understand the use of meta-cognition. But this does not resolve either since were still within the same skewed mind. I welcome the thoughts of Dr. Grande on this question. I think I have an answer. But I would like her hear Dr. Grande's answer first.

I respect the Doctors opinion but I don’t necessarily agree? I find Adlerian Psychology to be very very useful not necessarily complex unless you want it to be and can really be a powerful therapy. I’ve even had doctors recommend it as well? I recommend reading ( The Courage To Be Disliked ) 3+ million copies sold.

What is "an excellent theory by todays standards"? Cheers 😊

Birth order is a pretty decent predictor of political affiliations soooo... it’s more valid than it seems on surface

Somehow I doubt human nature can be understood as one neat package.

Birthorder doesn't have effect on superiority/inferiority? Who did they ask? I mean, ask any second or third child, and they will tell you a different story. In my experience the fristborns don't feel superior, but in the eyes of second or thirdborns act superior.

You make me want to drink coffee.

It is true?

I have a sense none of you know what Adler was saying and for that matter neither did he. n I have a suggestion ; just chat and listen according to you own skill and power. Stop learning other people's fragmented ideas. Commit to learn your own. Sheep ...comp!ex my arse .
