A Century ago, Adler's theory was rejected by many because it emphasized values, holism, community, egalitarianism, collaboration, and positive health rather than "hard", objective, diagnostic "science" of what's wrong. Now science has caught up with Adler, and his ideas can be seen as a foundation for most application in psychotherapy, coaching, counselling and other change professions. This hour-long teleconference will provide an overview and specific examples of what's newly relevant for today's practitioners.
