Adlerian Theory

Alfred Adler developed the Adlerian hypothesis, a psychological paradigm that emphasizes the individual’s unique experience and desire for personal growth and social connection. It emphasizes the importance of social influences, individual perspectives, and the pursuit of a meaningful existence. 

According to Adlerian theory, individuals seek meaning, belonging, and a sense of purpose in life. It implies that a person’s social context, including their family, culture, and community, influences them. Fundamental to Adlerian thought is the concept of social interest, which refers to a person’s innate capacity to empathize with others, form meaningful relationships, and promote the well-being of society. 

Adlerian therapy is particularly useful for individuals attempting to comprehend and eliminate inferiority complexes, low self-esteem, and social isolation. Together with their clients, Adlerian therapists analyze their clients’ irrational beliefs, individual goals, and social embedding. The approach to therapy emphasizes fostering self-awareness, generating new perspectives, and empowering individuals to make life-altering decisions. 

Through discussion and reflection, the therapist at Purple Flowers 365 counseling services, in Palatine IL., assists the client in understanding their subjective world, comprehending the impact of social forces, and identifying new opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
