Alderian Therapy: Pays more attention to the subjective experiences of clients than to using techniques. Some techniques include gathering life-history date (family constellation, early recollections, personal priorities), sharing interpretations with clients, offering encouragement, and assisting clients in searching for new possibilities (Gerald Corey)
Key Concepts:
- View of Human Nature
- Subjective Perception of Reality
- Inuty and patterns of Human Personlaity
- Social Interest and Community Feeling
- Birth Order and Sibling Relationships
Alfred Alder initially worked with Sigmond Freud but came to his own personal conclusion that Freud had too narrow of a view on our development. Alder was the first psychologist in the modern area to look at the family dynamic in therapy using a systematic approach and how we see ourselves in that family. . He wanted to also encourage and teach parents and family to be able to communicate better and rear children in a healthier way. . Alder set up more then 30 clinics to help these families in Vienna in the 1940's and later after his death his concepts were brought to America in the form of family education centers.
Alder believed in therapy there are four phases to reach a client.
