This article focuses on the contribution of Rudolf Dreikurs and Individual Psychology to this experimentation with the structure of psychotherapy. In 1946 Dreikurs and the members of his group private practice began exploring the use of multiple therapists in the treatment of clients. This grew out of his experience in the family guidance clinics begun by Alfred Adler in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s. This exploration led to the Individual Psychology multiple psychotherapy model, with a specified sequence of interviews designed to serve as an intake to a group practice. Three other multiple therapist models, a brief therapy model, a reflection team model, and a cotherapy model, are briefly discussed, followed by a discussion of the use of these models in training and supervision.","PeriodicalId":410014,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122134094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The original interview was conducted in English and translated to Spanish, intended for Spanish-speaking people interested in Adler’s Individual Psychology and to respond to the growing interest of that audience in Adler’s and Dreikurs’s work. The conversation focuses on the importance of the Adler–Dreikurs ideas and methods as applied to the individual, school, and society.

The diary is also prefaced by Alfred Adler, who was at some point called to treat Nijinsky. The diary is often referenced in the field of psychology as holding insight into this unique experience of mental unhealth. Vaslav Nijinsky, a famous ballet dancer of his time, wrote the diary at age 21 while living in Switzerland with his wife, child, and mother-in-law during World War I. Throughout this diary, he alludes to early childhood experiences. Some of these stories are explored here through the lens of Rudolf Dreikurs’s Children: The Challenge in an effort to approach the historically popular case study from Dreikurs’s viewpoint, with a specific focus on such topics as goals of misbehavior.","PeriodicalId":410014,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121417754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the letters, currently kept at the Manuscript Division of the U.S. Library of Congress, Dreikurs described his travels, filled with training and teachings, meetings with people, sightseeing, and observations, in at least 10 U.S. states and 20 other countries. The authors identify and explore themes in the letters, including his concerns with major geopolitical crises, his attention to social problems within and between countries, and his work to preserve and maintain the Adlerian movement. The authors demonstrate how these themes align with Dreikurs’s legacy.

Developmental challenges children and youth face in an ever-changing world, especially in the current social context, are considered. The authors offer practical applications regarding conflict and relational implications, adolescents, and the systems they navigate. The authors explore the importance of understanding children as individuals who experience oppression from the systems and adults in their lives. The early work of Rudolf Dreikurs and Alfred Adler serves to describe how such dynamics are enacted within conflicts in the social world.","PeriodicalId":410014,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131454514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
