Fundamentals of Adlerian Psychology by Rudolph Dreikurs, M.D., Adler School of Professional Psychology, 1989. Forward by Alfred Adler, “It must be about twenty years since I tried to foretell the future of Individual Psychology in some such words as these. Individual Psychology, which is essentially a child of this age, will have a permanent influence on the thought, poetry and dreams of humanity. It will attract many enlightened disciples, and many more who will hardly know the names of its pioneers. It will be understood by some, but the number of those who misunderstand it will be greater. It will have many adherents, and still more enemies. Because of its simplicity many will think it too easy, whereas those who know it will recognize how difficult it is. It will bring its followers neither wealth nor position, but they will have the satisfaction of learning from their opponents’ mistakes. It will draw a dividing line between those who use their knowledge for the purpose of establishing an ideal community, and those who do not. It will give its followers such keenness of vision that no other corners of the human soul will be hidden from them and it will ensure that this hard-earned capacity shall be placed in the service of human progress.” |
