LESSON 2 ACTIVITY 1

Instruction: Using the Venn Diagram below, differentiate Psychoanalytic and Adlerian
Counseling Theory.

Psychoanalysis is a set of theories

and therapeutic techniques used to
study the unconscious mind, which
together form a method of
treatment for mental disorders. The
discipline was established in the
early 1890s by Austrian
neurologist Sigmund Freud, who
retained the term psychoanalysis
for his own school of thought.
Adlerian theory refers to a
psychological practice built on the
belief that, as unique individuals,
people should be validated,
connected, and made to feel
significant.
