Adlerian Lifestyle Counseling cover

A rare balance of both practical application and empirical research investigation, Adlerian Lifestyle Counseling provides mental health practitioners with an invaluable resource on the theories of counseling pioneer Alfred Adler. Warren R. Rule and Malachy Bishop, both reputed authorities on rehabilitation counseling and Adlerian theory, present useful practitioner consideration and applications, preparing the reader for a wide variety of counseling situations. Research studies also included in this volume - on topics scanning career choice, parental behavior, personal characteristics, and more - ground these practices in a basic theoretical framework. Adlerian theory is a popular and powerful approach that respects the uniqueness and creative potential of the individual. This comprehensive collection on the topic is a significant addition to the counseling research canon.

'What Drs. Rule and Bishop have provided is an excellent compendium of articles whose foremost contribution is the manner in which they guide the professor, the student and the practitioner to apply the Individual Psychology of Adler to a diverse array of topics relevant to rehabilitation counseling, as well as to a broad spectrum of psychological practice.'- Francis X. Walton, Ph.D. Psychologist, Past President of the North American Society of Adlerian Psychology

'This extraordinary book of readings provides both the scholar and the practitioner with an in-depth look at the contributions of Alfred Adler. Applications to mental health, school, career, rehabilitation, parent, and leisure counseling and numerous related topics make this text an invaluable resource for all those interested in Individual Psychology. Drs Rule and Bishop have created a resource that will be widely used in both academic and professional networks. I think this compendium is informative, engaging and essential reading for members of the helping professions.'- David Capuzzi, Ph.D., John Hopkins University, Professor Emeritus, Portland State University, Past President of the American Counseling Association
