New Adlerian Treatment Technique!

A new, creative enhancement of Adlerian treatment is featured in an article, "Providing the Missing Developmental Experience in Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy," by Henry Stein and Martha Edwards. Included in the article, is a transcribed demonstration of the technique.

(excerpt from the introduction)

"There may be times in the course of individual psychotherapy when clients have sufficient insight, but appear to lack the inner resources needed for a breakthrough to a new level of functioning. When we look into the early childhoods of these clients, we often find deficiencies (real and imagined) of parental acceptance, support, love, encouragement, respect, or even positive challenge. For some of these clients, a well-timed, precise, and vivid simulation of a missing developmental experience (MDE) is able to give them the internal fortification that they need to break out of a narrow rut of limited functioning into an expansive, creative way of living."
