Just Published - Volumes 5 & 6 of "The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler"

Volumes 5 & 6 of "The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler -
Journal Articles" have just been published and can now be purchased
conveniently online at http://go.ourworld.nu/hstein/.

Volume 5 contains new translations of forty-three articles published
from 1921 to 1926, reflecting Adler's growing interest in the
prevention of neurosis and crime, child guidance issues of problem
children, punishment, delinquency, neurotic parents, and faulty
education. After commenting on the challenges of puberty, and male and
female sexuality, he offers timeless guidelines for developing a
healthy partnership. In his provocative article about legalizing
abortion, Adler supports a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy.
Adler also takes on the leading figures in the French Revolution,
unveiling the personality dynamics that sparked a revolutionary
spirit. Finally, he crystallizes his vision of the future and the
direction of social evolution.

In the twenty-six articles in Volume 6, published from 1927 to 1931,
Adler devotes several to the varied aspects of neurosis, including:
cause, prevention, structure, unity, theory, role-playing, and the
similarities to tricks and jokes. In three articles, he amplifies
earlier discussions of dream theory, including the related issues of
sleeplessness, and enuresis. Two articles address crime and
criminals, while another offers a penetrating, timely insight into the
psychology of power. Perhaps the most controversial article of all is
"Alfred Adler on America," wherein he critiques our preoccupation with
ambition, competition, and speed, as well as our tendency to pamper
children. One of the most important statements of his philosophical
position appears in "The Meaning of Life," translated by Sophia de
Vries.

For the first time, these new translations are providing access to
Adler's great body of work. You can support the Classical Adlerian
Translation Project by purchasing each volume as it becomes available.
Volumes 1-4 may also be ordered online at
