Review of Adlerian Family Counseling: 3rd edition · 9:54pm Feb 26th, 2016
I probably should have written this up monday, but there isn't much to say. This is a procedural manual, it is my second favorite after Skill Streaming the Adolescent. After reading this book full of flow charts and stage directions I have this weird theory that children in latency stage should be exposed to Montessori methods, children in elementary school should be taught debate if not rational emotive behavioral therapy, exposed to transactional analysis with an emphasis in negotiation or salesmanship in middle school, and should probably be exposed to Gestalt and Adlerian therapy in high school.
Naturally, everyone should be offered an opportunity to receive a college education consisting of a Visual Media degree with an emphasis in art therapy and psychodrama; Just so that everyone can be well adjusted or would have genuinely had the unique opportunity to learn methods and strategies that allow them to overcome their emotional baggage and experience grief in a way that benefits the multitude. Were such a thing possible, we'd probably be a country full of sociopolitical geniuses that could outwit any justice system abroad. We (those on this mythical path to freedom from fear and oppression) could easily execute restorative justice with only our ghost like charm.
Not to mention the second coming of Christ under such a system will be rendered an unnecessary evil. Oh well, C'est la vie and Sailor Moon have their mass extinction to look forward too. Good luck with the rapture, the resurrection, republicans, and everything that comes with it. I have better flow charts.
