Show the Techniques of Adlerian Counseling
Adlerian counseling is a psychoanalytical theory developed by Alfred Adler. Unlike the Freudian psychotherapy techniques, Adlerian counseling is based on a holistic approach. Adler believed that human behavior is influenced by the environment and goals in life. He also believed that people strive for success and superiority in their lives to overcome feelings of inadequacy with which they are born. Showing the techniques of Adlerian counseling can help improve counseling methods and teach others about different options in counseling.
