Adlerian Family Therapy
by James Bitter
Watch James Bitter masterfully demonstrate Alfred Adler’s values and techniques in an actual therapy session with a family caught in a typical power struggle, followed by a fascinating discussion of the nuances of this influential approach to helping families thrive.
Carol and Glenn are the parents of three young children and are struggling with a problem that most parents and therapists are all too familiar with: their kids don’t listen! With playfulness and humor, Bitter skillfully uncovers the goals that are motivating the parents’ and children’s behaviors and uses that understanding to create new possibilities in the family.
 
This is a great opportunity to see an expert demonstrate a foundational Adlerian technique—the “Typical Day” assessment--which reveals the details of the family’s interactions with each other, allowing Bitter to make specific recommendations to support the parents in co-leading the family more effectively. From advice such as “Act without talking” to “Cut the television cord,” Bitter helps the parents work together to set limits that really work, ending the power struggle once and for all.
