Substance Abuse: An Adlerian View (Theme Pack 3 on Selected Topics)

Theme Pack 3 - Substance Abuse: "Narcotic Abuse and Alcoholism," by Alfred Adler. Rather than struggling to solve a difficult problem, the substance abuser often seeks quick relief. Adler suggests a series of penetrating interview questions that reveal what is being avoided, and discusses the lack of preparation problem-solving since early childhood. This Theme Pack includes Chapter VII from "The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler" - Volume 7 (16 pages), as well as a condensed overview of Classical Adlerian Psychology.
