Description
Summary:This article is based on the view that an adlerian perspective on psychotherapy is more consistent with Christian theology than conventional psychoanalysis and that pastoral counselors should, therefore, find it more useful in their counseling. An overview of adlerian theory is presented, including views on “social interest” and “inferiority feelings.” These views are compared to Christian theology and conclusions are drawn as to implications for psychotherapy.
