Description
Description:
Adlerian psychotherapy is an effective brief therapy model that integrates strategies from many approaches. Adler’s ideas highlight the importance of not only understanding the individual but the social context. This approach emphasizes working from a multi-cultural orientation and highlights personal responsibility. The approach uses a four-step process: Engagement, Assessment, Insight and Reorientation. The focus of treatment is positive as the therapist uses encouragement strategies to help the client identify their assets and strengths. Video-tape examples of actual sessions will be used to highlight the process and demonstrate how effective short-term change is possible with this approach.
Educational Objectives:
- To list the key components of Brief Adlerian Psychotherapy.
- To describe the use of encouragement to empower couples and increase hope.
