RECORDING – Adlerian Series Part 4: Alfred Adler Lifestyle and Implicit Bias

SESSION FOUR
2021 ADLERIAN SERIES

Deepening Our Adlerian Understanding

Session Title: Alfred Adler – Lifestyle and Implicit Bias

Session Description

In Individual Psychology, the lifestyle is analogous to the personality of a person. For Adler, the construction of the lifestyle is completed very early in childhood. All thinking, feeling, and acting of an individual support their style of life. Often, we are unaware of those thoughts that lead us to feel or act a certain way. Thoughts and feelings are “implicit” if we are unaware of them or mistaken about their nature. Adlerian Theory allows us to better understand implicit actions that affect how we relate with others and how they relate to us.

This workshop will cover Adlerian concepts to include lifestyle, guiding lines, schema of apperception and movement.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• create better environments and conversations that are mutually respectful and encouraging,
• evaluate how personal values and interests determine the mode in which we view the world, and
• assimilate and analyze the meaning and causes of implicit bias well enough to identify shortcomings in ourselves and facilitate small group discussions.
