The Depth and Complexity of a Jazz Psychotherapeutic Process

Abstract:The author briefly describes his early life within communist-ruled Romania and his formation prior to being introduced to Adler. The professional and personal experiences of this period made him especially receptive to Adler’s ideas, which he absorbed through insatiable reading and training. His participation in developing a collection of Adlerian literature in Romanian is also described. The article closes with an appreciation for the teleological orientation of Individual Psychology and how that has influenced his interpersonal approach as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
