The authors examine and discuss the application of Individual Psychology and Adlerian therapy in two Asian cultures. Starting with Chinese culture, they review characteristics of collectivist culture and how it functions in China. The compatibility of Adlerian psychotherapy in Chinese culture is examined in terms of their views on human nature, inferiority feeling and the inferiority complex, birth order, and therapeutic relationships. A case study is provided to illustrate the application of Adlerian psychotherapy in Chinese culture. The authors then examine South Korean culture in comparison to past histories and current experiences in China, and they describe one of the author's experiences of working cross-culturally.

Book Summary: CASE APPROACH TO COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY, Eighth Edition, vividly illustrates how major counseling approaches work with a single client, Ruth. Dr. Corey provides solid examples of psychoanalytic, Adlerian, existential, person-centered, Gestalt, reality, behavior, cognitive-behavior, family systems, feminist, and postmodern theories in action. Dr. Corey applies each therapeutic approach to a single client, illustrating how the various theories work and helping you see exactly how the techniques differ. Well-respected and widely recognized practitioners serve as guest commentators, offering their unique perspectives on Ruth's case. Commentators include founders of some of the therapies, such as William Glasser for choice theory and reality therapy, Arnold Lazarus for multimodal therapy, and Albert Ellis for rational emotive behavior therapy.

Adler challenged the Freudian model (the psychology of possession) by focusing on a psychology of use and the style of living each individual adopted in a personal movement toward self-selected/ self-created (life) goals. Today, this movement is called lifestyle or one’s style of living. This workshop teaches a process for lifestyle assessment and the use of this process in therapeutic practice.

Self-disclosure and storytelling have been part of Adlerian family therapy and counseling since Adler's public work with families and educators in Austria. The benefits of both—as well as the cautions for use—have been well documented in the literature. Still, those who are recently trained and/or new to the profession often seem reluctant to engage clients in the kind of human, person-to-person (and person-revealing) conversations that let clients know they are not alone in the world and that encourage them to be imperfectly human. The use of self-disclosure and storytelling occurs less in training programs that put a premium on "taking a professional stance" and with practicum/internship students who are still unsure of how to use themselves in the therapeutic process. The authors describe the purposes and constructions of effective self-disclosure and storytelling in Adlerian family therapy and suggest guidelines for therapeutic decision-making and use.
