Striving for Authenticity

Sophia J. de Vries (1901–1999), who studied with Alfred Adler, Lydia Sicher, and Alexander Mueller, wrote this introduction in 1990 to a series of journal articles by Adler that she had translated. At the time she was living in Oakland, California, and was a consultant and senior training analyst for the Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco. Her work served as an incentive to carry on the translation of Adler’s clinical works and as reference documents for later translations.
