  • The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco
    Benveniste, D. (2006) The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco. Psychoanalysis and History. 8(2) July 2006. The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco Daniel Benveniste, Ph.D. Caracas, Venezuela The early history of psychoanalysis in San Francisco formally begins with the opening of Alfred Kroeber’s psychoanalytic office in 1918 and ends with the death of Siegfried Bernfeld in 1953. Between those years, San Francisco witnessed a small group of Americans and European émigrés coming together and creating the foundation of psychoanalysis in San Francisco. The issues dominating the day were those of lay analysis, psychoanalytic training models and World War II. Within this small psychoanalytic community, there were a number of extremely creative analysts who, along with the rest, participated in some rare moments in which a creative and ecumenical spirit prevailed and others in which divisiveness limited them. Without a historical context, those of us in the depth psychologies tend to become arrogant and assert the ahistorical and timeless truth of our views. We fall victim to "the narcissism of minor differences" and project our dreaded other onto the various others around us whether they be pop psychology innovators, old guard upholders of the dogma, or just our theoretical cousins. But psychoanalysis is not a natural science. It is a historical science. Nathan Adler used to say, "Every generation must rediscover psychoanalysis for itself." And I would add that we must contextualize our discoveries and re-discoveries in the social, historical and economic moment in which we are situated. There are many reasons for recalling the early history of the depth psychologies in San Francisco.

  • Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists
    Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists By Floyd Rudmin Rudmin, Floyd (1991). Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists. In Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Vol. 31, No. 2, Spring, pp. 12-43, 1991 Sage Publications, Inc. Floyd Webster Rudmin is a boundary crosser. In many societies (e.g., the Inuit), boundary crossers are obliged to try to interpret and intercede for those on either side of the boundary. Dr. Rudmin completed a B.A. in philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, an M. A. in audiology at SUNY Buffalo, and a Ph.D. in social psychology at Queen University in Ontario. He has lived and worked in the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and since 1978 in Canada. His spouse, Toyoko, is Japanese. Their children are schooled in French. The primary focus of Dr. Rudmin research is the psychology of ownership and possession. He is currently an assistant professor in Queen Faculty of Law and School of Business. History of psychology is his pleasure. Peace is his passion. Summary Peace psychology has a history that is both long and prominent. However, that fact is little known and little appreciated, even among contemporary peace-activist psychologists. This article presents 17 brief biographies of psychologists who are part of this important heritage: Pythagoras, Jeremy Bentham, Franz Brentano, William James, August Forel, Ivan Pavlov, Sigmund Freud, James McKeen Cattell, Mary Whiton Calkins, Alexander Chamberlain, Alfred Adler, William McDougall, Edward Tolman, Gordon Allport, Gustav Ichheiser, Margaret Mead, and Charles Osgood. It is important that more recognition and appreciation be given to the long and prominent history of psychology in peace research and peace activism.

  • Adler's Individual Psychology: My Journey
    Adler’s Individual Psychology: My journey/ My perspective/ My concerns/ My hopes William G. Nicoll, Ph.D. With the autumn of 2020, I enter my 50th year in the mental health profession. It also marks the 45th anniversary of my introduction to, and involvement with, Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology (IP). Reaching such milestones (plus pandemic social isolation!) has led me to step back, pause, and reflect upon my professional journey with IP and where it has led in regard to my perspectives on, concerns about, and future hopes for IP. Allow me now to share some of these thoughts and reflections. Hopefully, by so doing, those new to Adler’s IP might be encouraged to contribute to the task of furthering the growth and development of IP theory and practice. That is, to build upon, improve and expand the contributions of Individual Psychology toward the promotion of mental health and social wellbeing in all aspects of life. [Part 1] My Journey with IP “The dots in your life always connect, but, you can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward”. Steve Jobs, 2005 commencement address, Stanford University In 1971, I completed my undergraduate degree majoring in both psychology and sociology. I was particularly influenced by my family sociology professor, Dr. Murray Strauss, founder of the field of family violence research. His research on the effects of family violence and corporal punishment on child behavior and development led to the establishment of the national Family Research Center (i.e., a precursor to today’s ACEs/Trauma research).

Starting with their meeting and early relationship and then looking at the characteristic constructs of each man’s theory, the authors expose the basis for a therapeutic collaboration between the two in a current psychotherapy. As both theoreticians held creativity as vital to the well-being of the individual, the final section of the article illustrates the importance of going beyond theoretical extrapolation and applying creativity within the therapeutic setting. Keywords Alfred Adler, Abraham Maslow, self-actualization, fictional final goal, holistic therapy, creativity, classical Adlerian depth psychotherapy The psychological theories of Alfred Adler (1870-1937) and Abram Maslow (1908-1970) are seldom mentioned together nowadays. While there have been a few articles written about them from both the humanistic (cf. DeRobertis, 2011, 2013; Frick, 1982) and the Adlerian perspectives (cf.

    Running head: INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY IN JAPAN 1 The Development and Expansion of Individual Psychology in Japan A Research Paper Presented to The Faculty of the Adler Graduate School ____________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy ____________________ By: Makoto Kajino April, 2014 INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY IN JAPAN 2 Abstract The Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler has gradually developed and expanded in Japan. The following manuscript describes the application of Individual Psychology and Adlerian Psychotherapy and the author reviews the interaction between Individual Psychology and the Japanese population and culture. In addition to this assessment, the author also discusses challenges and difficulties of Individual Psychology based on a survey with Adlerians. Finally, the strategies and methods for the development and expansion of Individual Psychology in Japan are introduced. INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY IN JAPAN 3 Acknowledgements I wish to expresses sincere appreciation and thanks to my Chair and President of Adler Graduate School, Dr. Daniel Haugen, for his assistance and direction with this project. His brilliant comments and suggestions allowed me to attain more productive results. I would also like to show my appreciation to the Director of Career Development, Carmen Croonquist, for her advice and commitment during my year as her intern on this project regarding “Career Development” and for her help with my career, which has been priceless. I would also like to thank all of the faculty, staff and classmates at Adler Graduate School, and my friends who supported me in writing and encouraged me to strive toward my goal.
