Adler’s Interview Questions: Incorporating Diversity and Sociocultural Contexts Holistically

To comprehend a client’s situation holistically, Adler delineated an interview guide. Dreikurs, Shulman, and Mosak expanded some of Adler’s original queries of a client’s lifestyle, including assessment of sociocultural factors and diversity contexts. Contemporary Adlerians continue to evolve lifestyle assessment. Although this article underscores how Adler’s original ideas are relevant and highlights useful questions from Shulman and Mosak’s Manual for Life Style Assessment (1988), numerous new questions and areas of inquiry are listed as well, new questions to address the changing sociocultural context of the 21st century.
