  • A LESS KNOWN FACET of RUDOLF DREIKURS' WORK: MULTIPLE PSYCHOTHERAPY Joseph Meiers, M.D., New York City, N.Y
    70 YEARS YOUNG Congratulations to dynamic Dr. Dreikurs, not only a roving ambassador of Individual Psychology but also a teacher par excellence who has intensively , taught and promoted the theory and practice of Alfred Adler almost to the point of becoming a crusader. Through the influence of Dr. Rudolf Dreikurs, Adlerian groups and societies have been formed across the United States. He has carried forth this work in Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Israel, and elsewhere: And in every organization that he joined, Dr. Dreikurs made it resoundingly clear that he was an Adlerian in theory and practice. Very few, if any, of those organizations, you may be sure, failed to become trulyAdlerian likewise! Dr. Dreikurs has never spared of his time, his energy, his money, or his health in his efforts to pass on to us the benefits to be gained from Individual Psy­ chology. We who have profited from Adlerian psychology can follow his illus­ trious example. In every Adlerian society, if at all possible, we should organize an Adlerian clinic and graduate school. This has been carried out as separate organi­ zations in both Chicago and New York, and in different fashion in other centers. Then perhaps some ll!Q!"_e future Dreikurses will develop.

  • Motivational Interviewing
    Healthy Families Florida Training Institute Robin Hart, Senior Trainer Objectives After this presentation you will be able to: Distinguish between discipline and punishment. Explain how harsh discipline affects brain development. Summarize the key characteristics of developmental milestones. Identify 11 positive discipline and guidance strategies. What’s in it for me? Sharpen your saw! Practice family-centered techniques for helping families understand key milestones in their child’s growth. Make use of new understanding of typical child development to improve family outcomes. Provide families with positive approaches for addressing difficult behaviors. What’s in it for the family? Positive discipline and guidance promotes healthy development and family well being. Young brains develop healthy “wiring.” Children learn to modulate behavior and emotion. Parents react more consistently and appropriately. Children have more positive interactions with family and caregivers. Punishment vs. Discipline Webster says… Punish - to deal with roughly or harshly; to inflict injury on a person because of a crime or wrong-doing. Discipline - to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control. Why would parents use punishment instead of discipline? Parenting Styles Authoritarian Democratic Permissive Perfectionist Mixed Parenting Style Overprotective Parenting from the Subconscious Most parents (subconsciously) treat their children the way they were treated as a child, especially around discipline and punishment issues. Parents may use techniques their parents used on them even though they may not be healthy parenting skills. Parent-child interactions color the child’s experiences. Children’s early experiences impact the way their brain develops.

    DUBLIN, IRELAND 26 TH JULY -ICASSI 8 TH AUGUST 2015 2015 INTERNATIONAL TH Summer Institute 48 RUDOLF DREIKURS Courses in Adler/Dreikurs Theory and Practice www.icassi.net Introduction ICASSI 2015 promises to be a most comprehensive and enriching learning experience, and the Faculty, Board, and Administrative team members all look forward to seeing you in Dublin, Ireland in July and August of 2015. I am gratified that the annual Rudolf Dreikurs Summer Institute is going strong in its 48th year. It is a testament to the timeless value of the principles and teachings of Adler and Dreikurs. The 2015 Summer Institute is a reflection of ongoing efforts of ICASSI to ensure that our international institute brings fresh ideas, novel applications and updated course material to our participants.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Brown, B.A., B.Ed. I . I I I Department of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies in Education Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of - , "' Master of Education Faculty of Education, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Kathryn L. Brown 2009 Abstract In this qualitative investigation, the researcher examined the experiences of 10 teachers as they implemented a classroom management model called the Respect Circle. Through interviews and journal entries, the writer sought to understand how the participating teachers developed their classroom management practice, using the Respect Circle as a reference point. Data collection occurred over a 10-week period from October to December. The findings of this study demonstrate the multifaceted and complex nature of classroom management. Participants identified relationships with their students as the premier factor in establishing classroom management. Additionally, pro action, professional reflection, adaptability, and consistency figured prominently in the classroom management approaches taken by the participating teachers. Utilizing the experiences and suggestions of the participants as a springboard, the Respect Circle model was revised. The findings underline areas of concern regarding classroom management and suggest that teachers want a respectful, structured yet flexible model upon which to base their classroom management. Suggestions for teachers, new and experienced; school administrators; and developers of classroom management courses are provided. .' 11 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the people who made both the journey and the destination of this quest exciting, attainable, and rewarding.

  • Rudolf Dreikurs -- a Biographical Summary
    Rudolf Dreikurs -- A Biographical Summary Copyright 2008, Eva Dreikurs Ferguson Dreikurs was born in Vienna in 1897 into a merchant family that had attained comfort without opulence. A first born with a sister five years younger, he learned music at an early age as well as foreign languages (French and English) when a little older. He retained his love of music throughout his life time. As an adult he composed songs, and he played chamber music in his home, at varying times playing the piano, violin, viola, and cello. He loved playing the piano and often played four-handed pieces or even two-piano music when another musician was available. From the age of 50 onward he had two pianos in his home. In contrast, he was not an avid linguist. In later years, when he had to present lectures in French or English he could do so, but he never prided himself on his linguistic skills. In World War I, Dreikurs became a soldier at the age of 18 and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Austrian Army. During his adolescent years he had become involved in youth groups focusing on idealistic causes, involving humanism and nature and social ideals, and he was not militaristic in his outlook. His concerns with morality and spirituality were broadly concerned and not limited to a single faith or denomination. He worked strongly for peaceful co-existence between individuals, groups, and nations, and undoubtedly the horrors he experienced in World War I strengthened his resolve to help humanity rely on cooperation rather than destruction in resolving conflicts.
