Group psychotherapy: A syllabus

Mosak, Harold H.

This collection brings together some of the best of Doctor O'Connell's thinking and some descriptions of his acutely perceptive techniques. Their wide range of application to all forms of human behavior id quickly apparent. Like Adler and like Dreikurs, O'Connell thinks in broader terms than the usual mental illness-mental health dichotomy. He has something courageous and optimistic to say about all of life and its meaning. He is above all, an encourager. - Bernard H. Shulman, M. D. --- excerpt from book's Preface

Alfred Adler's journal articles, booklets and books, published from 1898-1936, document the sequence of his conceptual development. By reading the complete series of his clinical writings in chronological order, we can appreciate the gradual emergence of Adler's remarkably integrated model of the personality, theory of psychopathology, principles of prevention, technique of psychotherapy, and philosophy of living. His ground-breaking odyssey of psychological exploration and refinement creates a uniquely unified vision of man. We can gain a macrocosmic view of his work by first tracking his early sense of a physician's social responsibility, then his brief engagement with the psychoanalytic circle, including the stimulation of Freud and Jung, and finally the gradual maturation of his own theory. It is interesting to follow the early emphasis on the aggression drive, to the later prominence of the striving for significance, and eventually the emergence of the feeling of community. His very first publication, Health Manual for The Tailoring Trade, published in 1898, is remarkably vivid and moving. Rich in illuminating detail, it provides a powerful impression of the hellish life of tailors in Vienna during the late 1890's, and the devastating impact of their work, economic situation, and living conditions on their health. Eventually, when we discover that the life expectancy of tailors at that time was only 33-48 years, we are appalled, but not surprised. In his next two articles, The Penetration of Social Forces into Medicine and An Academic Chair for Social Medicine, published in 1902, Adler argues for expanding state health care and prevention programs. He amplifies this message in his 1903 article State Aid or Self Help. His eloquent appeal for effective medical insurance, nearly a century ago, seems remarkably fresh and timely today in the midst of our managed care crisis. Adler's early interest in child guidance and education is expressed in The Physician as Educator, published in 1904. From 1905-1909, Adler deals with sexuality, dreams, the aggression drive, organ inferiority, the child's need for affection, and the neurotic disposition. We can trace his journey from a physician's awareness of the human body, through an emerging social consciousness, to a fascination with the interconnectedness of intellect, emotions, and body.

The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler, Volume 3 - Journal Articles: 1910-1913: Elaborating on the Basic Principles of Individual Psychology

<p>As Adler gradually expanded the horizons of Individual Psychology, he addressed a multitude of topics in the twenty-four articles published between 1914 and 1920. He focused predominantly on the dynamics of neurosis and psychosis, but he began exploring the positive and negative influences of the home and school on the development of the young child, devoting five articles during this period to child guidance. Adler also contributed several book reviews to psychology journals; two have been included in this volume. The political and military issues of his time prompted passionate, persuasive arguments from his keen, analytical mind. His article, "Bolshevism and Psychology," is a classic exposé of the abuse of power and the inevitable response of the people. His comments remain timeless.</p>

The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler, Volume 4 - Journal Articles: 1914-1920: Expanding the Horizons of Child Guidance, Neurosis, & Psychosis

In forty-three articles published from 1921 to 1926, Alfred Adler illuminates the heights and depths of human nature.  He emphasizes the importance of an optimistic world view and the dangers of distance and isolation.

The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler, Volume 5 - Journal Articles: 1921-1926

<p>This volume opens with a provocative article wherein Adler challenges traditonal assumptions about character and talent, and argues his belief in the potential of intensive training. In twenty-six articles published from 1927 to 1931, Adler devotes several to the varied aspects of neurosis, including: cause, prevention, structure, unity, theory, role-playing, and the similarities to tricks and jokes. In three articles, he amplifies earlier discussions of dream theory, including the related issues of sleeplessness, and enuresis. Two articles address crime and criminals, while another offers a penetrating, timely insight into the psychology of power. Several miscellaneous topics are discussed in articles covering: courage, feelings, emotions, reason, intelligence, mental retardation,and an unusual issue, widow neurosis. Perhaps the most controversial article of all is "Alfred Adler on America," notes taken at one of his lectures by a physician, where Adler compares the American and European cultures, critiquing our preoccupation with ambition, competition, and speed, as well as our tendency to pamper children. One of the most important statements of his philosophical position appears in "The Meaning of Life," translated by Sophia de Vries. From this article, we can see why Alexander Mueller considered Individual Psychology a dynamic stimulus to the discipline of philosophical anthropology.</p>
