hello

I think that there are more theories that have adopted this conviction since
Adler first wrote down his ideas. It is his idea of "holism" that led him to his
conviction that all elements that can be seen in a person are necessarily linked
together. I included a website that explains the idea of holism that Adler
borrowed from the South African philosopher Jan Smuts.
http://www.ecotao.com/holism/gem_b.htm

Maybe it is possible to discern emotion and intelligence, but it will never be
possible to make intelligence work without being influenced by one's emotions.

So by adopting this idea of indivisibility one has a more true understanding of
human nature. Or, to use the old phrase "The whole is more than the sum of its
elements"

This permits us to interpret all parts (symptoms, expressive
movement, thinking, feeling, memory, etc.) as clues to a larger
whole that we call the fictional final goal.  Once we unveil this
imagined end point, we have the leverage to help a client change his
main direction.  By getting to the root of the problem, we avoid the
trap of chasing after symptoms.

A new page titled "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and The Stages of
Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy" has been added to the Classical
Adlerian Psychology web site at http://go.ourworld.nu/hstein.  It
contains two new graphic images, "Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of

Psychotherapy,"

Hello All,

I would like to draw your attention to the 38th ICASSI which will be held on the
sunny island of MALTA in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. ICASSI organizes
summerschools for counselors, therapists, teachers, parents, social workers etc.
ICASSI will be held from July 17 untill July 30 2005.

I visited a few of these ICASSI's and found it to be very nurturing and
refreshing.

All info can be found on this site

Hello Dustin,

Your test made me think and that's why I concluded that question 3 was about an
ideal situation, and therefore maybe reflecting the position one would crave to
have. From this place I would like to say that it is great that you come up with
such a thing. We both share curiousity, maybe our arguments differ..:)))) My age
is 63 and it would be very "UnAdlerlike" to look down upon less experienced
and/or younger persons.
I know that your kind of test is used in the cognitive therapy model of Aaron
and Judith Beck.  I advise you to read them too. You'll find that there are
large similarities between Individual Psychology and their Cognitive model.
As far as I know Adler never used any kind of test. He trusted his "clinical
view" and he adapted his conclusions continuously during any interview with
clients.

Paul

For me the "bible"that I love to use is the book by the Ansbachers: The
Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler. ISBN : 0-06-131154-5 from Harper & Row,
publishers.

By the way "wrong ideas" could be wrong, and/or just the result of a lack of
information..:))) So do not bother!!!.

Hey Paul,
Yea Paul, you bring up quite a point. Although I kind of disagree with
question 3 being an "ideal" rating, I agree that you have pretty much
found a possible "loophole" to put it lightly. I think that for the
most part this technique would work, because with many people their
rating for question 5 would show their perception of the norm of their
particular group. But I must say that the situation you have brought
up made me think for quite some time and I am not sure I can justly
defend my position.

Now I'd like to mention something that may give you, along with other
people in this group, a reason to somewhat "look down" on me, for lack
of a better term. I am actually 17 years old and a junior in
highschool. I may not seem like I would have much knowlage in such a
subject, but I would like to say I have read 3 books on individual
psychology and a book on Freud. So I hope this won't affect your view
on me too much and I hope to continue posting in here and having
discussions. And I appologize for any lack of knowlage or defending of
"wrong ideas" lol.

Hello Dustin,

just suppose that all your ratings are, let's say, 10.  With the exception of
rating numer 3, more or less one's  ideal rating, if..if..if.. etc. lets say
this rating 3 is 95.
Couldn't you say then that an indication of inferiority would lie in the
difference between the ideal rating and all the others?

I would like to say that I "misinterpeted" the way the messages were

help in research! visit link below:

http://www.project.republika.pl/

The aim of project is examining, or the factors connected with date
and order of birth influence on preferences in pairs joining.

Just Published!!!  Volume 7 of "The Collected Clinical Works of
Alfred Adler," Journal Articles 1931-1937
  Birth Order & Early Memories, Social Interest & Education,
Technique of Treatment

  Adler's journal articles, written between 1931 and 1937,
encapsulate the most mature expression of his ideas on theory and
practice. Of the twenty-eight articles included in this volume, five
are devoted to child development: selection of symptoms,
consequences of pampering, prevention of delinquency, and education.
Another five cover theoretical issues: self-consistent unity of
personality, structures of psychic activity, striving for
superiority, and social interest. In three articles about
psychopathology, he addresses the neurotic's character, symptoms,
and picture of the world, as well as the prevention of neurosis;
five more articles contain his ideas on compulsion neurosis, fear of
women, alcohol and drug abuse, the mind-body connection, and
psychosomatic disturbances. He offers practical diagnostic guidance
in two articles about family constellation and earliest
recollections. Finally, he provides a dramatic comparison to
psychoanalysis, and then a rare insight into the technique of
psychotherapy. This volume is an essential resource for anyone
wishing to gain an in-depth understanding of Adler's remarkable,
timeless insights into human nature and their yet-to-be-realized
potential.

base the stories on as much factional information as possible.

If you are interested in stories about the paranormal, please check
out my books. You can find more information about them and me on my
website at http://www.shadowpeoplebooks.com

I am always open to suggestions and would like to hear from you. I
hope you will read my books and tell me what you think of them. Best
of luck and once again…Thanks!

      Hello Group….I am somewhat new to this group. I am conducting
research for my upcoming book concerning parallel universes. I know
this is a controversial topic and the "String Theory" is not accepted
by all. I am very much interested in your opinion in regard to the
possibility of the existence of parallel universes and if man is
capable of traveling between alter-dimensions of time and space. I
also believe in `Shadow People' and feel a clue to their existence
may be found in other dimensions. As I said, I would like to propose
a new topic of discussion for this group. If you are interested,
please let me know your feelings on `Shadow People' and/or `Parallel
Universes.'


"Shadow People-Spectators or Participants?"

      Strange mysterious creatures that are only seen at the edge of
normal vision have been reported for hundreds of years. People from
all walks of life have encountered these wispy creatures that seem to
originate in the world of dreams. Suddenly the sightings seem to take
on a sinister tone as these apparitions become more aggressive. Who
or what are they and where do they come from? What is their agenda?
Are they friend or foe? These questions and more are answered as a
parapsychologist leads an attempt to find the truth. All is not as it
seems as technological advances are used to investigate mysterious
deaths that seem to be related to the rash of sightings. Old legends
and gospels left out of the Bible hold the key to the question that
everyone is asking. Are these "Shadow People-Spectators or
Participants?" A paranormal thriller that may cause the reader to
check under his bed before going to sleep.

"Dreams-The Gateway"

      "Dreams-The Gateway" is a paranormal thriller that introduces
the science fiction fan with the term "dream tranversion." A young
boy soon learns that he possesses a special gift. Early in life he is
able to enter the mysterious world of dreams and interact with the
dream process. As he matures he further develops this ability into a
new technology that holds many great promises for mankind. The
government soon learns of his ability and funds future research and
then later drafts his discovery for use in the war against global
terrorism. The ability to control the dreams of enemies is considered
the most powerful weapon ever developed. Along with the ability to
interact in the land of dreams the professor discovers a link between
dreams and man's conquest of the unknown. His program and assistant
are relocated to a secret island government base to complete the
research into the possible use of dreams as a weapon. Unexpected
events soon force all involved to face the nightmare unleashed by the
new technology. All who transverse into "Dreams-The Gateway" will
step into a fast paced paranormal adventure.

Does everyone dream?

Can dreams contain a portal to alter-dimensions?

The striving for power (over others) is the negative variation of
the striving for significance.  Social feeling, or the feeling of
community, is the positive direction for overcoming the feeling of
inferiority.

Can anyone help me in seeing the difference between social feeling
and striving for power? It seems to me that the striving for power to
deal with the feeling of inferiority is the main principle. The
social feeling would either be one of inferiority, superiority or
equality. So it seems to be dependent on the striving for power.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know something about applications of adlerian theory in the field of
business management and work organization.   Could I have some bibliographic
suggestions or some web link about this matter?
Thank you

A new discussion thread, "Adler From the Ground Up," has been added
to the Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy Forum at
http://www.behavior.net/bolforums/forumdisplay.php?f=6.  This will be
a gradual introduction to Adler's ideas, with an opportunity to ask
questions and follow an ongoing discussion.

To date, we have discussed the first six chapters
in Volume 2 of "The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler."  You
can read their messages as a "guest" at
http://www.behavior.net/bolforums/forumdisplay.php?f=6.  However, if
you plan to post comments or questions, you will need to register.

Starting October 11th, we will discuss Chapters VII & VIII, Adler's
first published comments about sexuality.  You can prepare for
participating in these discussions by ordering
Volume 2 at http://go.ourworld.nu/hstein/cw-v2.htm.  This Discussion
Forum offers a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of

i believe i have some antiques of nellies.. namely a box with that
name,  a very old baby photo of a small girl, an old velvet book
which is in german, and an enamel inlayed womans belt..they were
found in a older womans home in new jersey an she sold many items
from the same unclaimed freight to collectors in austria.

Our initial online discussion of "The Collected Clinical Works of
Alfred Adler, Volume 1," Chapter I, "A Health Manual for the
Tailoring Trade" elicited astute, stimulating comments from Adlerians
in the U.S., Canada, and Finland.  You can read their messages as
a "guest" at http://www.behavior.net/bolforums/forumdisplay.php?f=6.
However, if you plan to post comments or questions, you will need to

Nickle and Dimed in Austria

In "Health Manual for the Tailoring Trade," ("The Collected Clinical
Works of Alfred Adler, Volume 2," Chapter I, pages 1-14) Adler offers
a vivid portrait of oppressive working conditions in 1898 Vienna that
is reminiscent of Barbara Ehrenreich's contemporary, blistering
picture of poverty level wages in the U.S., "Nickel and Dimed, On
(Not) Getting By in America."  His complete diagnostic perspective on
the impact of poverty and unhealthy working conditions is sobering--
he details the respiratory, circulatory, structural, muscular,
digestive, visual, and dental deterioration, combined with high
accident rates and an inadequate medical insurance system.  As a
reporter, Ehrenreich gives us a powerful impression of "being
there."  As a physician, Adler gives us an "x-ray" of the impact of
these working conditions on the human body.   He set a high standard
for socially responsible medicine in 1898.  Hopefully, more
physicians  will begin urging legislators to address these similar
issues today.

Join us for the first online study and discussion of Alfred Adler's
newly translated journal articles and discover his remarkable legacy
of psychological wisdom.  Our new Discussion Forum at BehaviorOnline
www.behavior.net/bolforums/forumdisplay.php?f=6 has an appealing,
efficient interface.  We will explore Adler's fascinating
development--from the early roots of socially responsible medicine,
through the evolution of unequaled insight into the personality, and
the development of an inspiring philosophy of living.  Starting with
his earliest published writings, and proceeding chronologically, each
week or two (starting September 13th), we will focus on an article
from "The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler."

Psychology.  You can share your comments, ask questions, and respond
to the messages left by other forum members.  If you can't start right
