The Adlerian Network FREE Monthly Meeting
The Adlerian Network FREE Monthly Meeting (at new time) will be on the topic of “Early Recollections & Metaphors in Therapy & Supervision” and be presented by Dr. John Newbauer.
You need not be a member to attend the Adlerian Network. Events are free. Send a request for the Zoom link to <adlerian.network@gmail.com>
Metaphors are powerful ways of working with clients and often are used by our clients to describe their situations, feelings and relationships. Similarly, counselors in supervision also use metaphors to express themselves. Too often, we neglect to hear the metaphors or explore them in ways that are useful. We will take a look at what metaphors are and how we might use them as Adlerians in our work in therapy and supervision.
Our speaker, Dr. John Newbauer, is a consulting psychologist, and supervises behavioral clinicians working with clients who have a variety of developmental disabilities. He served as the Executive Director of the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology (NASAP) and also served as Administrator of ICASSI (International Committee for Adlerian Summer Schools and Institutes). He was Director of Treatment and Diagnostics for the Allen County Juvenile Center. Prior to working for Allen County Juvenile Center, Dr. Newbauer co-founded a private practice group, Phoenix Associates, Inc. in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he practiced psychology for 23 years. He served on the core faculty of the Adler School of Professional Psychology for 18 years and retired in 2008. Dr. Newbauer holds a diplomate from NASAP. He has publications in the areas of working with sexual offenders and victims and also spirituality and mental health.

TLC Section Meeting
Hosted by Pascale Brady and Kevin O’Connor.
The May gathering will be an open co-created conversation focused on the business of running a business, and anything else you might want to bring to the group. An open forum of sorts. We’ll explore practical tips and tools, delve into the business of coaching, and share what’s working in our practices.
We’ll also take time to reflect on the future of our section—what we envision moving forward, and whether any members might feel called to step into a leadership role. Additionally, we’ll connect around upcoming events like NASAP and ICASSI, and see who’s planning to attend.
