What’s the Story? considers an individual’s Early Recollections or perceived important memories as if, “strung together,” they compose a short story.  We then interpret that “story” by applying critical thinking methods adapted from literary and educational institutions, such as The Great Books Foundation, which promote a deeper comprehension of a “text.”

Adlerian Network invites you to this free session to explore the topic “Grief” with Chris Garwick-Foley, MA, LPC, a graduate of the Alfred Adler Graduate School, who has been counseling clients for 25 years. She has a remote private practice addressing issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her practice is based on the knowledge that we are all holistic beings with physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions, dynamically interwoven to produce the unique individuals we are.

While one may try to push the effects of loss aside, it is not possible to completely, effectively deny grief forever.
 One of the reasons for this is that without fully processing a loss, each time a person experiences a new loss of equal or greater significance, he or she will naturally, expectedly, re-grieve every previous loss in her life of the same or similar magnitude as the new loss.

John Reardon, MA, Speaker

Adler had some specific understanding of this question based on his in-depth comprehension of humans and their purpose for behavior.

Let’s touch on how he:


- pictured human success

- named human dynamics

- why and how humans defeat themselves

- dispelled cultural illusions blocking human success.

And, how Adler understood that learning and the promotion of learning is an engine of therapy.

John Reardon has functioned as an Adlerian therapist, organizational developer and trainer, teacher, and mentor since 1984.
 As a Chicago student, he trained with Mosak, Powers, Schneider, Grunwald, Lobl, Wright, and Bartholomew. Given these roots, he established Phoenix Process Consultants in 1984, and remains in practice today. He taught at Adler Graduate School from 1997 until 2015, teaching therapy classes, Adlerian Organizational Development, and numerous workshops. He has written eight books and numerous articles

“A New Approach to Couple Counseling”

Presenter: Susan Pye Brokaw

When coming to counseling, couples tend to focus on blaming their partner for their problems.  This new approach to couple counseling moves the focus to each individual and their responsibility for the problems in the relationship.  Some psychoeducation is also used.  Throughout the therapy, any improvement is acknowledged as moving toward success.  This presentation will describe the process for six sessions and beyond.

Susan Pye Brokaw is the founder and Chairperson of the board of the Adlerian Network.  She was a founder, core faculty member and now faculty emeritus of the Adler Graduate School.  She has been a practicing mental health practitioner for more than 50 years.
