Helping clients change

Wisdom of Adlerian Psychology

Featuring an internationally renowned speaker on Adlerian Psychology & NASAP Diplomate

Event Details

This workshop will focus on essential tenets of Adlerian psychology as they deepen clinicians’ understanding of clients, selves as therapists, and ensuing therapeutic relationships. Participants will learn to apply Adlerian theory to case conceptualization with individuals, couples, and families. Participants will have an opportunity of exploring their own therapeutic style from an Adlerian perspective. Activities will include mini-lectures, demonstrations, small group case conceptualization work, and other experiential exercises aimed to enhance participants’ clinical practice skills.

• • The dates are Friday, September 28th (9am-4pm) and Saturday, September 29th, 2018 (9am-300 pm with social hour immediately following from 300-400 pm).

• • We will once again be at the beautiful University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

• • Food will be provided, along with time to enjoy each other and the Arboretum.

• • The number of participants will be limited to allow for a more intimate experience.

• • We will once again be taking a deep dive into Adlerian counseling theory and techniques through lectures, live demonstrations, and self-practice.

What people enjoyed last year:

• * Immersive experience and chance to practice new skills.
• * Limited number of participants allowed for an intimate experience.
• * Location – MN Landscape Arboretum – was exceptional.
• * Chance to get to know presenter’s techniques so well, and to know who he is as a clinician.
• * Loved the one-person format since “we get enough of the other stuff, the surface presentations.”
• * Well-appointed and well-organized
• * The pace was good—people learned but didn’t feel burnt out.
• * Friendliness, openness, attitude of, “How are you? Do you need anything?”
• * Help from the Adlerian Elders
• * Intergenerational community
• * The people—the speaker, the Elders, volunteers for live demos, other attendees, staff at Arboretum
• * Sharing case studies and seeing live demos
• * Felt connection with fellow Adlerians
• * “This was a refresher/tuneup weekend.”
• * “The enthusiasm, goodwill and ‘our tribe’ philosophy was like the days when Dreikurs came from Chicago.”
