A Late-Stage Launch Into Classical Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy

Abstract:The author describes her professional practice before being introduced to the depth version of Adlerian therapy. She relates her first encounter with classical Adlerian depth psychotherapy (CADP) from a friend who had practiced it for years, although details of it were unknown to the author. The author’s subsequent training, application of CADP, and its impact on the author’s professional life is shared in detail by showing how she applied Adler’s many useful constructs. She concludes with an eye on a dynamic retirement.
