The free Adlerian Network Monthly Meeting topic is “Senescing with Adler” presented by Louise Ferry, PhD, LP, LMFT.
Alfred Adler developed concepts that are relatable to all no matter what stage of life we might be entering. We are constantly striving towards a “felt plus” as well as away from a “felt minus.” This continues to be present throughout our entire life, even as we are entering those later stages. This workshop will provide information on the changes that take place as we age as well as Adlerian interventions that can be used with those who would be classified as “older” in our society. These interventions are relatable to helping older individuals also to work towards that “felt plus.”
The Adlerian Network, based in Minnesota, holds monthly meetings free and open to the public to provide the application of Adlerian concepts that therapists can use in their practices; to produce networking opportunities; and to provide Adlerian resources to those who want Adlerian therapy.
