Learning and Practicing Adlerian Therapy not only provides readers with a review of conventional Adlerian therapy but introduces a contemporary version of it called Adlerian pattern-focused therapy. It is a cutting-edge approach that combines basic Adlerian interventions with a unique therapeutic strategy that is brief, highly effective, and reimbursable. Employing a unique experiential approach, readers "sit in" on the therapy process via transcriptions of a completed 10 session therapy. Ongoing commentaries allow readers to follow the therapist's inner thoughts about the ensuing therapy process. The book begins with chapters that explore the conventional theory and practice of Adlerian therapy and introduce Adlerian-pattern focused therapy. The following four chapters walk readers through the beginning sessions which emphasize the therapeutic relationship and the identification and focus on pattern change. Readers then follow the pattern change process as it unfolds in the middle phase and in the termination phase of treatment. The text concludes with a discussion of how this therapy succeeded in a client with major depression. Successfully blending conventional knowledge of Adlerian therapy with a contemporary approach, Learning and Practicing Adlerian Therapy is an ideal resource for future clinicians.

When we hear such expressions as feelings of inferiority and insecurity, striving for self-enhancement and power, woman's revolt against her feminine role, the oversolicitous mother, the dethronement of the first-born, the need for affection; when maladjustment is spoken of as self-centeredness, psychological health as other-centeredness; psychiatry as the science of interpersonal relations, neurotic symptoms as ego-defenses and forms of aggression, to mention only a few instances—we are meeting ideas in which Alfred Adler was the pioneer from 1907, the date of his first important publication, until his death in 1937. The purpose of the present volume is to make Adler's contributions to the theory and practice of psychology available in a systematic and at the same time authentic form. To this end we made selections from his writ- ings and organized them with the aim of approximating the general presentation of a college textbook. Because every word in the main body of the work is Adler's, the outcome of our efforts, if we have been successful, should be the equivalent of a textbook by Adler on Individual Psychology, the name which he gave to his system.

Object Relations and Self Psychology are two leading schools of psychological thought discussed in social work classrooms and applied by practitioners to a variety of social work populations. Yet both groups have lacked a basic manual for teaching and reference -- until now. For them, Dr. Eda G. Goldstein's book fills a void on two fronts: Part I provides a readable, systematic, and comprehensive review of object relations and self psychology, while Part II gives readers a friendly, step-by-step description and illustration of basic treatment techniques. For educators, this textbook offers a learned and accessible discussion of the major concepts and terminology, treatment principles, and the relationship of object relations and self psychology to classic Freudian theory. Practitioners find within these pages treatment guidelines for such varied problems as illness and disability, the loss of a significant other, and such special problems as substance abuse, child maltreatment, and couple and family disruptions. In a single volume, Dr. Goldstein has met the complex challenges of education and clinical practice.
