The Counseling Art in Context
"All mistaken answers
[to life's challenges] are degrees of an infinite series of failures
or abnormalities, or of the attempts of more or less discouraged
people to solve their life-problems without the use of cooperation
or social feeling.
— Alfred Adler, M.D.
Antioch University Seattle and the Puget Sound Adlerian Society
(PSAS) offer the Certificate Program for Professional Studies in
Adlerian Psychology in 2008. Alfred Adler, M.D., a Viennese physician
and psychiatrist, pioneered psychological theory and therapy that
underlie today's cognitive, holistic, feminist, culturally sensitive
and family systems therapies.
Adlerian therapy – an empathic, collaborative and empowering
process – can free clients by helping them understand their
unconscious belief system, then move toward developing relationships
based on mutual respect and equality. This certificate developed
by the Puget Sound Adlerian Society and North American Society of
Adlerian Psychology (NASAP) and offered in collaboration with Antioch
University Seattle’s School of Applied Psychology, Counseling
and Family Therapy is designed for counselors, therapists, psychologists
and social workers. NASAP is Approved by the American Psychological
Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists and
is recognized by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC)
to offer continuing education for counselors. NASAP maintains responsibility
for this program and its content.
