Adlerian Psychotherapy

[Episode 6] In this lecture, I discuss key elements of Adler's Personal psychology and how this approach contrasts with Freud's theory. The contrast between Adler's and Freud's approaches can best be summed up in the quote "We are pulled by our goals, rather than pushed by our drives."

Adoption Policy and Practice in the U.S.A.: Interview with Ruth McRoy, Ph.D.
