In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Alfred Adler compiled good ideas and presented an elegant framework for understanding the human condition. A hundred years have passed, and nothing has suggested that Adler got it wrong or missed any critical factor. But as with any model, followers and theoretical visitors pick and choose their favorite elements of the theory and fail to understand the model’s core elements. Without a holistic understanding, the elegance and potential usefulness of the model can be lost. This article distinguishes the core theoretical components from more tangential aspects to provide a theoretical overview and useful model of the human condition, which should make the more tangential aspects of this model and other approaches more understandable and sensibly applied.","PeriodicalId":508530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":"42 6","pages":"115 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141390316","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 benefits are not limited to talk therapy; they also encompass play therapy. Overall, the integration of psychological theories should be undertaken only when core concepts do not contrast. Because not all philosophical underpinnings of the two theories (Individual Psychology and adaptive information processing) align, they cannot be completely theoretically congruent. This article provides an overview of the underpinnings of Adlerian theory and the adaptive information-processing model and a description of similarities and differences. To conclude, a case study illustrates how one might use EMDR in Adlerian play therapy in a theoretically sound way.","PeriodicalId":508530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":"44 1","pages":"116 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141399733","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}

Interpreting his responses shows that Putin, who grew up an only child, mythologized the perceived heroic role that his soldier–father had played in World War II in defense of the Soviet empire and had also set a goal for himself to be a leader of “hooligans” (his word) when he was younger and then of a more accepting conservative Russian or Soviet society. With regard to Putin’s current behavior, in which he likely sees himself as a kind of czar invading Ukraine, and given that the interview was conducted over 20 years ago, the purpose of this article is to show the longitudinal value of using Adlerian interpretive methods to assess personality.","PeriodicalId":508530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":"120 14","pages":"149 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141406711","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}

Several factors are associated with post-traumatic growth, such as symptom severity, personality traits, and coping resources (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004).

Both SS and TC contributed to PTG. SS and TC mediated the association between trauma symptoms and PTG. BSI moderated trauma symptoms in SS and trauma symptoms in TC. High BSI accounted for variance in the relationship between trauma symptoms and SS, and lower BSI accounted for more variance between trauma symptoms and TC.","PeriodicalId":508530,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Individual Psychology","volume":"214 1","pages":"218 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139345360","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 discussion emphasizes the theoretical and practical view of subjectivity in Individual Psychology.

Early files also contain letters of reference, each ending with a confirmation that an “applicant’s orientation can be classified as Adlerian” or a similar endorsement.
