Adlerian Therapy
by Jon Carlson
Watch Jon Carlson masterfully demonstrate Adlerian Therapy in an actual therapy session in this 3-part video!
Adlerian therapists aim to understand how clients fit into their worlds, and how family and cultural backgrounds shape clients and influence their therapeutic processes and individual needs. In this video, Carlson works with an African-American woman, Gina, exploring the family values she learned growing up, highlighting a fierce independence that became headstrong at times. Carlson then confronts her about how this value might have contributed to the downfall of her marriage. Gina admits, “I’m tired of fixing things all the time,” and explores with Carlson possibilities for change. Host Diane Kjos introduces Dr. Carlson and facilitates an enlightening discussion on the approach.
