The Adlerian as consultant in the general community.

The mental health world is entering a new era. The psychoanalytic model is no longer the dominant mode of treatment. Overintellectual­ izing is quickly giving way in many of our young psychotherapists to relating with various kinds of people in developing a sense of com­ munity. This approach stresses the importance for professionals of various orientations to work together in demonstrating their own high degree of community feeling or social interest. The present paper deals with attempts at integrating suitable Adlerian approaches with the general therapeutic community. We shall discuss three situa­ tions in which Adlerians work with others of different orientations, two in a non-Adlerian setting, and the third in a primarily Adlerian setting.
