Article Excerpt
Adlerian Therapy: Theory and Practice, by Jon Carlson, Richard E. Watts, and Michael Maniacci, 2006, American Psychological Association, 304 pages, $59.95, ISBN 1-59147-285-8.
Alfred Adler died in 1937. He was, by all accounts, a man of extraordinary charisma, keen intellect, and forward-thinking vision. He left behind a theory of personality and counseling that was still in development, along with a relatively small group of disciples in the United States and Europe, who were mostly shunned by the psychological establishment of the day. Yet, despite this, almost 70 years after his death, people are still talking about him, and his theory endures. It is perhaps an ironic testimony to the power of his ideas that in the opening decade of the 21st century, Adler's theory seems to resonate better with the current zeitgeist than it did in the opening decade of the 20th century, when it was developed. This is the major thesis of Adlerian Therapy: Theory and Practice.
