Abstract:Rudolf Dreikurs divided Adler’s Individual Psychology psychotherapy process into four phases: establishment and maintenance of the therapeutic relationship, investigation of the client’s past and present life situations and lifestyle, interpretation or insight for enhancement of the client’s self-understanding, and reorientation. This article presents the application of Dreikurs’s phases to couples therapy as structured and developed by Zivit Abramson. The article describes how a couplehood is formed, what the psychological couple contract is, and situations in which difficulties may arise in the couple relationship. Dreikurs’s phases are paralleled and adjusted to couples therapy. This article contributes to the understanding of the therapist’s role by elaborating on the use of each phase in couples therapy.

Abstract:Juvenile transfer is the mechanism by which juveniles who offend are charged, tried, and sentenced by the adult judicial system with the goal of enacting harsher punishments and deterring criminal behavior. Using Rudolf Dreikurs’s ideas on belonging, goals of misbehavior, reward and punishment, and delinquency, we argue that the transfer of juveniles to adult court is unnecessary and also harmful to juveniles and to society.

Abstract:As a result of the worldwide impact of COVID-19, therapists' use of telemental health counseling has increased. Telemental health care was a rapidly growing service before the COVID-19 pandemic and is even more prevalent now. This article examines the use of Adlerian play therapy via a telemental health platform while also providing specific ideas for implementation.

Abstract:A biopsychosocial model for anxiety disorders includes an individual's genetics, brain structure, environment, and general thinking patterns to explain etiology, effects on thinking, behaviors, and development of an anxiety disorder. With more individuals seeking mental health treatment and the high prevalence of anxiety disorders among all age groups in the United States, clinicians benefit from being able to recognize the many forms of anxiety and approaches to treatment. There are several evidencebased treatment options; particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and various "nontraditional" options. An Adlerian approach is unique in that it attempts to give meaning to anxiety and explore its usefulness. For many Adlerian clinicians, anxiety is a result of fearing not belonging, protecting one's feelings of superiority, or feeling defeated in some way, which poses a direction for treatment that differs from mainstream treatment options. This article uses a biopsychosocial model to understand the development of anxiety from birth to adulthood, with a specific emphasis on Adlerian conceptualization and treatment options.

Abstract:The authors reexplore some of Adler's therapeutic formulations with the aim of presenting a renewed look at the meaning of psychological healing. They begin with Adler's concepts of mental health and psychological disorder and how Adler developed a healing process as movement toward greater community feeling. They discuss the processes of healing as a guiding ideal accomplished via treatment that requires practical, humane interaction. The process emphasizes the importance of the client feeling understood—with a holistic emphasis on both feeling and understanding. The authors use an alliterated conceptualization: client–clinician connection (mutual feeling), cooperation (mutual action), and common sense (mutual understanding) to describe movement in the healing process. The second half of the article offers a clinical illustration of how felt understanding between client and clinician can manifest practically.

Abstract:The study examined whether psychological birth-order positions have an association with personality types. A total of 378 participants were recruited from a Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) fan site and asked to report their psychological birth order. On the basis of their MBTI, all participants belong to four psychological types (introvert vs. extravert, sensor vs. intuitive, thinker vs. feeler, and perceiver vs. judger). Chisquare analysis revealed that only children (defined as children who do not have siblings less than 5 years younger or older) have an increased chance of being introverted compared to other birth-order positions. Furthermore, middle children have a significantly decreased chance of being introverted and a significantly increased chance of being feelers than other categories of birth order.

Abstract:This article presents some advanced psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Adlerian Personality Priorities Assessment (APPA) together with a study of validity using instruments to measure belongingness, life satisfaction, adult attachment, and a projective technique to assess Adlerian Personality Priorities (the Top Card Activity). The 22-item version of the Spanish APPA showed excellent psychometric properties, and invariance by gender and age; results also confirm and add on to prior studies showing that control is a more adaptive personality priority than superiority, pleasing, and comfort/avoidance. The combination of high control, high pleasing, and low comfort presented the best prediction of belongingness and life satisfaction. We discuss these results from an Adlerian theoretical background and affirm that priorities are both individual goals and unconscious mechanisms that are activated when the individual's condition of belongingness is thwarted.

Abstract:Good business practices start with fostering a sense of community and belonging in the workplace. These actions work to advance the well-being of the people who make up the organization's collective whole. According to Holder's (2014) research in positive psychology, it is the quality of interpersonal relationships that brings or deprives us of happiness. Hence, it makes sense for organizations to want to invest in human capital by creating a sense of belonging and psychological safety for their workers. One way to unite a workforce is through implementing a collective mindset. A collective mind-set is rooted in the belief that together we are stronger and can achieve more together than alone. Collectivist thought processes pivot around dynamic leadership practices, meaning they rely on how leaders and managers execute their responsibilities at work and the impact these actions have on their subordinates.

Abstract:Despite the existence of numerous scales and questionnaires that measure social interest, no such instrument has been developed specifically to measure social interest in Turkish adolescents. To that end, this study is designed to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure social interest in Turkish adolescents. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to determine the construct validity of the Social Interest Scale for Adolescents. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis of the final 21-item scale, a four-factor structure was revealed. Each of these factors referred to a critical Adlerian construct related to social interest: belonging, sensitivity, coping, and helping. In line with these results, it is possible to indicate that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument in measuring the social interest levels of Turkish adolescents.
