Rudolf Dreikurs’ biographers speculated that during his lifetime he “profoundly touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and abroad.” Because of the thousands of professionals he trained multiplied by the vast numbers his followers trained in the five decades since his passing, it would not be unreasonable to assert Dreikurs has touched hundreds of millions lives worldwide.
How might you have been impacted and enriched by Dreikurs and his followers?
Maybe it was the positive parenting your parents learned and practiced.
Maybe it was the positive discipline your teachers learned and practiced.
Maybe it was the counseling or therapy that encouraged you to move ahead in life.
Maybe it was subtle and not so subtle changes in social equality that impacted so many workplaces and communities.
Whether directly or indirectly, our lives have been enriched by Dreikurs’ legacy. This presentation will focus on his incredible legacy and highlight his many contributions in the areas of the classroom, parenting, therapy and the community.
Len Sperry, M.D., Ph.D. is a professor emeritus at Florida Atlantic University, and clinical professor of psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He has practiced, taught, researched and written about Adlerian psychotherapy for some five decades. He is board certified in psychiatry, preventive medicine, clinical psychology and Adlerian psychology, has 1100+ professional publications, and is co-editor of the Journal of Individual Psychology. Because he was the last to graduate from the Adler Institute with the Certificate in Psychotherapy before Dr. Dreikurs passed away, he has been called “Dreikurs’ last student.”
