Adler's Psychology and Group Psychotherapy
Abstract
Adler's concept of the social nature of man favored the use of group treatment, as exemplified by the Child Guidance Clinics in Vienna. Adler considered social interest the criterion of mental health, and the interactions in group therapy foster the development of this social interest. The author deals with the growing use of group therapy, its bases in the principles of Individual Psychology, and the value of a social setting as the mode of treatment.
