New Book on Classical Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy

"Classical Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy, Volume I - Theory & Practice: A Socratic Approach to Democratic Living," by Henry T. Stein, Ph.D. has just been published by the Alfred Adler Institute of Northwestern Washington. Using Adler's unabridged, original theory, Dr. Stein offers a twelve-stage model of treatment that clarifies the tasks and techniques needed to facilitate cognitive, affective, and behavioral change, including the Socratic method, guided and eidetic imagery, and role-playing. The ultimate aims of Classical Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy (CADP) are to expand the feeling of community and to dissolve the components of the self-limiting style of life: the unconscious, fictional final goal; counter-fiction; and inferiority feeling. This liberation unleashes the individual's creative power, widening his psychological horizon toward Adler's vision of optimal development and the self-actualization described by Abraham Maslow. This text provides a rare resource for clinicians, instructors, and students who wish to learn the full depth and scope of a holistic therapeutic approach based on Adler's original warm, gentle, diplomatic style of treatment.
