Alfred Adler, 1870-1937 Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology is the psychology of the unique, undivided personality and influenced by his belief in the social equality of all human beings, regardless of race, position, class or gender. According to Adler, we all have or should have fundamental equal human rights even though we are not equal in many other respects.
Together with Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, he was a key figure in the development of psychology as we know it. TO READ MORE ABOUT ADLER AND INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGY, PLEASE GO TO Adlerian Psychology and Articles & Reviews

PROGRAMME OF MONTHLY LECTURES - 2007/2008 Conway Hall Red Lion Square London W.C.1. Tuesday 12 February, 7.30 p. m."Mother, can you hear me?" presented by Annie Macdonald, B.A., Psych, M.Sc., MBACP(Accred).
The maternal principle symbolises an experience common to all living beings. Everyone has had a mother. The mother image is a powerful force that can overwhelm, deny and destroy: and she can also transform, make better and renew. She is a symbol of the unconscious and is closely connected with creativity. She is the name we give to nature and the sea. This lecture explores the maternal principle in myths, fairy tales and in different social models of motherhood, offering a fresh perspective on the problem of the mother image as it impinges on ourselves, our clients, our children and, most crucially, on our society's relationship with the Earth. Annie Macdonald is a writer and a counsellor/psychotherapist working in private practice and with several Employee Assistance Programmes in London and in Wales. Starting out in developmental psychology and in teaching, she spent eighteen years producing a documentary series charting children growing up for Channel Four Television. She is also a mother and her two children have recently become mothers too.

Presented by Gerhard Baumer Dip Psych, Reg Psychotherapist (Germany) Gerhard Baumer trained in Berlin as a clinical psychologist over 25 years ago, and has worked extensively as a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer in Germany and the UK. He is on the faculty of the International Adlerian Summer Institute, and regularly provides training input for the Diploma and Continuing Professional Development programmes in London, Cambridge and Wendover, and he is regularly invited to present sessions at the annual Adlerian Summer School in the UK. Gerhard integrates Adlerian Psychology and psychoanalytic approaches in his work. This two day workshop offers counsellors and psychotherapists the opportunity to develop their clinical skills further through exploring aspects of both psychosis and neurosis.
Following exploration of ‘normality’ ‘neurosis’ and ‘psychosis’, Gerhard will focus particularly on the more common neuroses such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety states including phobia and panic disorder. He will also address issues relating to the borderline personality disorder, and discuss early symptoms of psychosis.
Gerhard will be referring to DSM1V and ICD 10, offering a critical analysis of these standard diagnostic systems in relation to clients’ mental distress.
Participants are invited to bring case material (appropriately disguised) or specific issues relating to their own experience in the therapy/counselling process. The aim is to make the workshop as experiential as possible.

- the influences of Freud and Adler’s childhood experiences on their respective Lifestyles, and what aspects became essential parts of their psychological theories
- how Freud and Adler influenced each other, and the areas in which they agreed and disagreed
- an exploration of the importance for Freudians of concepts such as the unconscious, transference and counter-transference, and how these can be explained and used in an Adlerian setting
- aspects of the Adlerian approach now being incorporated into present day psychoanalytic work
PROGRAMME OF MONTHLY LECTURES - 2007/2008 Conway Hall Red Lion Square London W.C.1. Tuesday 8 April 7.30 p. m.8th April, 2008: Therapists’ Altered Perceptions. Maria North, MA (Psychotherapy and Healing); Dip Integrative Psychosynthesis Counselling; Senior Accredited BACP Psychotherapist and Supervisor; UKCP and UKAHPP Registered Psychotherapist.
Maria North has been in private practice as a therapist since 1994, having previously trained in bodywork and healing. The integration of the physical, the emotional, the energetic and the spiritual has always informed and enriched her work. She is co-director of Spiral Holistic Therapy Centre in North London, where she bases her practice. The room seems to brighten or darken; the weather hasn’t changed. A client’s face changes – not in expression but as if different features are superimposed, like a film, over the physical face. The energy around a client wobbles. The client appears to shrink or expand, either the whole body or some part of it. These are examples of experiences of therapists who seem to have a kind of ‘sixth sense’ to perceive visually something beyond what is physically present and understood as ‘normal’ reality. Are they psychic or psychotic? In this talk Maria gives an account of some of the experiences of various therapists whom she interviewed as part of research into this phenomenon, as well as offering conjectures about the meaning of the phenomena, its uses and potential abuses.
