ABSTRACT:This article explores the use of artificial intelligence–generated images in Adlerian work with clients’ early recollections. The history of AI, the current advances in the use of AI in health care, the risks and benefits of AI, and the directions for future studies and possible clinical use are addressed. A case example with the use of Midjourney-generated images is presented.

ABSTRACT:Throughout history, most genuinely good ideas have been the same ideas, albeit presented differently by philosophers and theorists or presented only in part by different schools of thought. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Alfred Adler compiled good ideas and presented an elegant framework for understanding the human condition. A hundred years have passed, and nothing has suggested that Adler got it wrong or missed any critical factor. But as with any model, followers and theoretical visitors pick and choose their favorite elements of the theory and fail to understand the model’s core elements. Without a holistic understanding, the elegance and potential usefulness of the model can be lost. This article distinguishes the core theoretical components from more tangential aspects to provide a theoretical overview and useful model of the human condition, which should make the more tangential aspects of this model and other approaches more understandable and sensibly applied.

ABSTRACT:Many of the concepts of the adaptive information-processing model can be applied to Individual Psychology, thus forming a potentially helpful model of using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in Adlerian therapy. The benefits are not limited to talk therapy; they also encompass play therapy. Overall, the integration of psychological theories should be undertaken only when core concepts do not contrast. Because not all philosophical underpinnings of the two theories (Individual Psychology and adaptive information processing) align, they cannot be completely theoretically congruent. This article provides an overview of the underpinnings of Adlerian theory and the adaptive information-processing model and a description of similarities and differences. To conclude, a case study illustrates how one might use EMDR in Adlerian play therapy in a theoretically sound way.

ABSTRACT:In early 2000, before Vladimir Putin became known on the world stage—even before he had been elected president of Russia—he gave an interview to three Russian journalists who asked him the types of questions that constitute an Adlerian lifestyle personality questionnaire: that is, to describe himself and his family while growing up, and to relate early memories or recollections. Interpreting his responses shows that Putin, who grew up an only child, mythologized the perceived heroic role that his soldier–father had played in World War II in defense of the Soviet empire and had also set a goal for himself to be a leader of “hooligans” (his word) when he was younger and then of a more accepting conservative Russian or Soviet society. With regard to Putin’s current behavior, in which he likely sees himself as a kind of czar invading Ukraine, and given that the interview was conducted over 20 years ago, the purpose of this article is to show the longitudinal value of using Adlerian interpretive methods to assess personality.

ABSTRACT:Publications of most professions and their professional organizations have evolved to better meet the needs of their members. These changes are reflected in three main publication types: professional journals, professional newsletters, and professional magazines. Each is described in terms of readership, focus, content, and criteria for publication. Recent developments in professional publications are briefly described. Finally, possible implications for the publications of the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP) are discussed.

ABSTRACT:Interpersonal trauma influences levels of post-traumatic stress and post- traumatic growth. Several factors are associated with post-traumatic growth, such as symptom severity, personality traits, and coping resources (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). This study examined the role of trauma symptoms, belonging and social interest (BSI), tension control (TC), social support (SS), and post-traumatic growth (PTG), and a moderated mediation model in a sample of individuals who experienced interpersonal trauma. Both SS and TC contributed to PTG. SS and TC mediated the association between trauma symptoms and PTG. BSI moderated trauma symptoms in SS and trauma symptoms in TC. High BSI accounted for variance in the relationship between trauma symptoms and SS, and lower BSI accounted for more variance between trauma symptoms and TC.
ABSTRACT:Interpersonal trauma influences levels of post-traumatic stress and post traumatic growth.有几个因素与创伤后成长有关,如症状严重程度、人格特质和应对资源(Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004)。本研究考察了创伤症状、归属感和社会兴趣(BSI)、紧张控制(TC)、社会支持(SS)和创伤后成长(PTG)的作用,以及在经历过人际创伤的样本中的调节中介模型。社会支持(SS)和紧张控制(TC)对创伤后成长都有促进作用。SS和TC对创伤症状与PTG之间的联系起着中介作用。BSI调节了SS的创伤症状和TC的创伤症状。高 BSI 会导致创伤症状与 SS 之间关系的变异,而低 BSI 则会导致创伤症状与 TC 之间关系的更多变异。

ABSTRACT:Youth in foster care often experience abuse, disrupted attachment, social ostracization, and challenges in developing belonging and social interest. Some fostered youths are resilient, but the prevalence and impact factors of resilience are unknown. This meta-analysis includes studies (k = 89; N = 121,869) with participants aged 0–19 years from demographically diverse regions worldwide. The prevalence rate (event rate, i.e., the proportion of the sample assessed as resilient; ER) for aggregated resilience (behavioral and psychological resilience combined) was 0.61 (k = 89; 95% CI 0.56–0.66; p < .001). Male sex and race were significant risk factors. Those aged 7–11 years had the lowest resilience ERs (combined = 0.58 vs. 0.63), suggesting developmental impacts and mistaken lifestyles (i.e., mistakes in the chosen way to approach tasks and problems; Adler, 1931) reinforced in school. Interventions must accommodate different sexes, ages, and races and should incorporate Adlerian principles (e.g., encouragement, understanding mistaken beliefs, social embeddedness, motivations). Developmental and trauma-informed policies are needed.
ABSTRACT:寄养青少年经常会遭受虐待、依恋关系中断、社会排斥,并在培养归属感和社会兴趣方面面临挑战。有些寄养青少年具有抗逆力,但抗逆力的流行程度和影响因素尚不清楚。本荟萃分析包括来自全球不同地区的 0-19 岁参与者的研究(k=89;N=121,869)。综合抗逆力(行为抗逆力和心理抗逆力的总和)的流行率(事件率,即被评估为具有抗逆力的样本比例;ER)为 0.61 (k = 89; 95% CI 0.56-0.66; p < .001)。男性和种族是重要的风险因素。7-11 岁儿童的复原力指数最低(合计 = 0.58 vs. 0.63),这表明发育影响和错误的生活方式(即在处理任务和问题时所选择的方式错误;Adler,1931 年)在学校得到了强化。干预措施必须兼顾不同性别、年龄和种族,并应纳入阿德勒原则(如鼓励、理解错误信念、社会嵌入性、动机)。需要制定以发展和创伤为基础的政策。

ABSTRACT:Individual Psychology represents a subjective psychology. This article examines Adler’s Individual Psychology conceptualization of subjectivity. Adler emphasized that individuals’ creative power engenders subjective processes that generate lifestyle and guide individuals’ perceptions and actions through life. The article integrates concepts related to subjectivity, including apperception, perception, point of view, private logic, goals, lifestyle, theory of use, early recollections, relationships, and the law of movement. The discussion emphasizes the theoretical and practical view of subjectivity in Individual Psychology. It suggests understanding subjectivity as a theoretical concept and as a functional constituent of lifestyle that connects cognition and personal goals and strategies, guiding individuals’ movement in life.

ABSTRACT:Exploring the membership archives of the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP, initially ASAP) from 1952 until the early 2000s revealed many hidden treasures. The applications from the 1950s to the 1980s, most completed by hand, share applicants’ reasons for joining, their education and training background in Individual Psychology, their fields of interest, and their professional activities. Early files also contain letters of reference, each ending with a confirmation that an “applicant’s orientation can be classified as Adlerian” or a similar endorsement. This article presents the demographic profiles of the 6,357 NASAP applicants between 1952 and 2009, focusing on professional identity, theoretical orientation, and commitment to Adlerian values, as expressed in these application materials. The second-person interactions that were prominent and popular in the Adlerian movement in the United States through the 1990s—teaching, correspondence, mentorship, open forums, and other you-focused activities—likely contributed to high NASAP membership numbers between 1952 and the early 1990s.
