The utility of the Adlerian model is clear as each chapter incorporates theoretical concepts and techniques into a concise discussion of the disorder, case conceptualization, treatment considerations, and case studies. This updated edition should be required reading for professionals working with clients in a variety of settings.” Susan E. Belangee, Ph.D., LPC, private practice, Canton, Georgia “In the third edition of their fine book Psychopathology and Psychotherapy, the editors Drs. Len Sperry, Jon Carlson, Jill Duba Sauerheber, and Jon Sperry do what they have done frequently in the past—they continue to fill a vacuum and shed light on areas of great interest and benefit. With clarity and precision these acclaimed authors, editors and academics, along with additional respected authors who contributed chapters, enlighten readers and provide solid and substantial information about treatment for various DSM-5 diagnoses from an Adlerian perspective. Those of us who work in the field can find our work enhanced greatly by reading and applying the knowledge presented in this book. I most highly recommend.” Debbie Joffe Ellis, private practice, New York City “The editors of Psychopathology and Psychotherapy: DSM-5 Diagnosis, Case Conceptualization, and Treatment (3rd Edition)—Drs. Len Sperry, Jon Carlson, Jill Duba Sauerheber, and Jon Sperry—are to be congratulated for the development and timely release of a new resource for the conceptualization and treatment of a range of mental health disorders. Their book has captured the most recent evidence and thinking about mental health from an Adlerian perspective, and then deftly weaved in case examples, to highlight the value of this approach. This work will be of interest and value to psychotherapy trainees and practiced clinicians alike.” Keith S. Dobson, Ph.D., R. Psych., Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Calgary, Canada; Past-President, International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy “Psychopathology and Psychotherapy begins each chapter with a captivating story, which moves to examine changes from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5. This skillful examination of contrast evolves into conceptualization of dysfunction through an Adlerian perspective, giving clarity to how one might use current systems to inform practice, and embrace mental health. A must have reference for students and practicing clinicians.” J. Steve Hamm, Ed.D., LCPC, Indian Oaks Academy, Manteno, Illinois “Psychopathology and Psychotherapy is a critical tool in assisting practitioners and practitioners- in-training to combine theory, practice, and diagnosis while incorporating a culturally sensitive framework. Rarely do we find books that allow us to directly apply a specific theoretical framework to our diagnostic work. This book will allow practitioners to broaden Adler’s work to incorporate DSM-5 and make specific suggestions on how diagnostic considerations can be linked to tailored Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:44 14 August 2016 treatment interventions for individual clients. A must read for current and developing Adlerians!” Katherine Helm, Ph.D., Professor and Director of Graduate Programs in Psychology, Lewis University “Psychopathology and Psychotherapy provides readers with a comprehensive and effective framework, compatible with most major psychotherapy approaches, that will help clinicians better help their patients. Strongly recommended!” Michael F. Hoyt, Ph.D., author of Brief Psychotherapies and Some Stories Are Better than Others “Psychopathology and Psychotherapy is a descriptive encyclopedia of the DSM-5 categories put into words by experienced clinicians and academicians. The book is a contribution to the clinical field in Individual Psychology as well as an excellent resource for those who wish to present DSM- 5 in understandable terms to students and other clinicians. An outstanding contribution to the field of counseling and psychology.” Roy Kern, Ed.D., Scientific Professor, Department of Theoretical Psychology, Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania; co-editor of the Journal of Individual Psychology “The third edition of Psychopathology and Psychotherapy is a necessity for every seasoned therapist and anyone utilizing formal diagnosis in therapeutic practice or training. The authors have created an extraordinary bridge between diagnosis and treatment, which elegantly synthesizes case conceptualizations for the most commonly encountered disorders in outpatient practice. Psychopathology and Psychotherapy is complete with organized treatment implications and explicit case examples synchronized with the DSM-5 clinical classifications. This revision is punctilious in its organization and in its contemporary congruence with Adlerian therapy and holistic approaches to change; it is a must have treatment and training tool for anyone utilizing DSM-5.” Frank Main, Ed.D., Professor Emeritus, University of South Dakota “Two people go into a bar. One is a psychiatrist and the other is an Adlerian. They have a long and deep discussion. When they leave they understand themselves better and seek to be more like the other. They go back to their respective practices. And in the end their patients benefit from this fascinating integration. From personality disorders to the neurocognitive disorders, this book integrates Adlerian theory and contemporary psychopathology. The merging of these two diverse perspectives make for a profound and illuminating read. When you finish, you’ll have a substantially deeper understanding of how Alfred Adler, in his ubiquitous inclusiveness, would embrace DSM-5.” John Sommers-Flanagan, Ph.D., Professor, University of Montana and author of Clinical Interviewing and Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories in Context and Practice Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:44 14 August 2016 Psychopathology and Psychotherapy Psychopathology and Psychotherapy: DSM-5 Diagnosis, Case Conceptualization, and Treatment, Third Edition differs from other psychopathology and abnormal psychology books. While other books focus on describing diagnostic conditions, this book focuses on the critical link between psychopathology and psychotherapy. More specifically, it links diagnostic evaluation, case conceptualization, and treatment selection to psychotherapy practice. Research affirms that knowledge and awareness of these links is essential in planning and providing highly effective psychotherapy. This third edition incorporates detailed case conceptualizations and treatment considerations for the DSM-5 diagnoses most commonly seen in everyday clinical practice. Extensive case studies illustrate the diagnostic, case conceptualization, and treatment process in a way that makes it come alive. Written by practicing clinicians with expertise in specific disorders, this book will be an invaluable resource to both novice and experienced clinicians.

  • Personality Disorders: Concepts, Constructs and Nosography
    Review Article World Journal of Psychiatry and Mental Health Research Published: 04 Jan, 2021 Personality Disorders: Concepts, Constructs and Nosography Roberta Lanzi1, Cristina Gramaccia2, Giulia Menculini1, Patrizia Moretti1, Tiziana Sciarma1, Andrea Raballo1 and Alfonso Tortorella1* 1Department of Psychiatry, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy 2School of Medicine, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy Abstract Personality Disorder (PD) is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual’s culture. It is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, it’s stable over time and leads to distress or impairment. According to a systematic review, the worldwide pooled prevalence of any PD is 7.8% (95% CI: 6.1-9.5) and rates are greater in high-income countries (9.6%, 95% CI: 7.9-11.3) compared with low- and middle-income countries (4.3%, 95% CI: 2.6-6.1). Global rates of cluster A, B and C PD are 3.8% (95% CI: 3.2-4.4), 2.8% (1.6, 3.7%) and 5.0% (4.2, 5.9%). The aim of this narrative review is to reconstruct the evolution of the concept of Personality and Personality Disorders from their origins to nowadays controversies regarding categorical versus dimensional models. Keywords: Personality disorders; Categorical model; Dimensional model; AMPD Personality Disorders: From the Origin to the Pre-DSM Era The first attempts to describe personality and its disorders date back to ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy. Confucius (551-479 BC) describes personality as influenced by “blood and OPEN ACCESS vital humors” which changes within the life of the person representing a physical (blood - xuè) and psychological (vital humors - qì) theory (Confucius, 1984) [1-5].

    Running head: MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER 1 Major Depressive Disorder: Overview, Treatment and Recurrence Prevention A Research Paper Presented to The Faculty of the Adler Graduate School ___________________________________________________________ In the Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy _____________________________________________________________ By: Stacie L. Nelson August 2012 MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER 2 Abstract This literature review presents an overview of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) followed by summaries of up-to-date research on the pathophysiology and treatment of depression. The incidence of MDD continues to increase despite modern day advances in research and treatment. Those employed in the psychological field, as well as primary care practitioners, will undoubtedly treat those affected by MDD. Treatment preference is often influenced by the mental health professionals’ training and education. In order to give individuals the best care possible, it is imperative that professionals have a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the disorder including the presentation of the illness, pathophysiology, and current treatment recommendations. Treatment choice should be made on an individual basis regardless of the educational background of the provider. A number of psychotherapeutic approaches as well as an array of antidepressant medications are used to treat individuals with MDD. It can be confusing to know which treatment is most effective and

  • Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Individual Psychology: a Dialogue Across Theories
    Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Individual Psychology: A Dialogue Across Theories Paul R. Peluso and Heather Maclntosh Abstract The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the link between the major theoretical tenets of Emotionally Focused Therapy (Johnson, 1 996) and Individual Psychology (Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1955) in the practice of couples therapy. The two theories are similar in many theoretical and practical ways' These areas of convergence and collaboration are outlined, as are the unique contributions that each approach has to offer practitioners of the other. Psychodynamic theories of personality have persisted over the decades beginning with Sigmund Freud. While many theorists subsequently refined or replaced Freud's initial theory, one element has remained consistent throughout psychodynamic thought: Human behavior is governed by pat- terns that are developed from early experiences (Bankart, 1 997). Two theories of personality arising from the psychodynamic perspective are Individual Psychology, developed by Alfred Adler in the 1920s and 1930s, and Attach- mentTheory, developed initially by John Bowlby in the 1940s and 1950s. Proponents of each of these theories try to use their concepts to explain an individual's methods of relating to others, viewing the world, and guiding their behaviors (Adler as cited in Ansbacher & Ansbacher, 1956; Bowlby, 19BB). Adlerian clinicians refer to these governing behaviors or personality dynamics as the lifestyle, while attachment theorists describe these dynamics as Attachment

  • Alfred Adler (1870–1937): Individual Psychology Adler Called His Approach Individual Psychology Because It Expressed His Belie
    Alfred Adler (1870‒1937): Individual Psychology Adler called his approach individual psychology because it expressed his belief that every human personality is unique and indivisible (Ewen, 1988). His emphasis on the individual did not preclude the social. The social element was an “all-important” factor since it is only in a social context that an individual becomes an individual. Adler has been considered to be a disciple of Freud but he vehemently rejected that. As Adler stated (1938): Freud and his followers are uncommonly fond of describing me in an unmistakably boastful way as one of his disciples, because I had many an argument with him in a psychological group. But I never attended one of his lectures, and when this group was to be sworn in to support the Freudian views I was the first to leave it. (1938, p. 254) In my investigations concerning dreams I had two great aids. The first was provided by Freud, with his unacceptable views. I profited by his mistakes. I was never psycho- analyzed, and I would have at once rejected any such proposal, because the rigorous acceptance of his doctrine destroys scientific impartiality which in any case is not very great. (1938, p. 254) Adler opposed Freud's insistence on sexuality as the center of human instinctual life. Instead, in his early theory he proposed that the basic human motive was aggression (which he admitted he borrowed from Freud—Freud would accuse him of plagiarism and heresy later on). Adler emphasized conscious thought and social determinants. Personality was shaped by learning in a social environment.
