Although an abundance of Adlerian child guidance materials have helped
educators, therapists, and parents, many still hunger for greater depth, and
more creative, effective ways to guide children toward cooperation and
contribution
"Educating Children for Cooperation & Contribution, Volume II," available at
http://home.att.net/~Adlerian/ecc-v2.htm, contains an abundance of practical and
inspirational Adlerian child guidance resources. In "The Work of an Adlerian
Psychologist in the Schools," Anthony Bruck, who studied with Alfred Adler,
explains the value of written essays, class discussions about behavioral
problems, and individual interviews with students. Many illustrations
demonstrate the art of questioning children Socratically, leading them gradually
to useful insight. In "Enlightening Children," Bruck shows us how to use a
simple strategy of clarifying attitudinal and behavioral choices, using graphic
clarifiers. His "Ten Commandments of Creative Education," are designed to
encourage positive attitudes toward the self, others, difficulties, and the
other sex.
Also included in this volume are three articles by Alfred Adler that emphasize
the central importance of preparing children with the right attitude toward
difficulties, and an article by Theodore Grubbe providing a host of practical
suggestions for helping children adjust to the school environment. A set of
condensed charts summarize the impact of various teaching styles on students, as
well as strategies for dealing with their mistaken goals. Finally, a summary of
Adlerian child guidance principles for teachers offers a clear focus on the most
effective educational-psychological approach for eliciting cooperation in the
classroom.
Teachers, parents, and therapists will discover a treasure of creative, child
guidance strategies that bring Adler's unique, original legacy to life. Order
