This event is sponsored by Center for Adlerian Practice and Scholarship - Adler University

In 1935, Alfred Adler wrote, “The feeling of belongingness, the social interest, takes root in the psyche of the child and leaves the individual only under the severest pathological changes of his mental life.”

This lecture, live demonstration, and small discussion groups will address the origins and the development of the fundamental tenet of belongingness in Adlerian psychology, the uniqueness of that tenet in Adlerian psychology, and its role in personality development and social evolution. Mental health implications of belongingness, underdeveloped, and misguided belongingness will be considered on all systems levels - from individual to familial, societal, and global. In light of the current war, a special discussion will focus on the sabotaged sense of belongingness at the root of the lifestyle of dictators.
