My Adlerian Experiences: My Mentor and ICASSI

In this article the author looks back on her years of Adlerian formation. She describes ICASSI experiences in terms of the variety of experiential learning and the strong theoretical framework they provided. Graduate studies also provided solid theoretical foundation and effective counselor training. Mentorship discussions inspired the author to embrace egalitarian relationships, holism, and an optimistic outlook. The article is illustrated with two recollections that were influential for the author’s personal and professional development: personal feeling of human fellowship and greater confidence as a therapist.
