APPROACHES
Psychoanalytic therapy.

Adlerian therapy. Developed by Alfred Adler. The one dynamic


force behind people’s behaviour is striving for success or
superiority. People’s subjective perceptions shape their behaviour
and personality. The value of human activity must be seen from
the viewpoint of social interest (gemeinschaftsgefuhl). Style of life
is molded by people’s creative power.
Existential therapy. Focuses on the human capacity to define and
shape his/her own life, give meaning to personal circumstance
through self reflection and self awareness. The only thing we
cannot control is being born and the fact of dying.

Rollo May Victor E. Frankl


Person-Centered therapy.

Gestalt therapy. Developed and introduced by Frederick S. Perls.


People must find their own way in life and accept personal
responsibility for maturity.

uniqueness is its emphasis on decisions and
contracts that must be made by the client.
